The DTO publication, Platform for Change Strategy 2000-2016, proposes an integrated transport system which will meet the long-term transport needs of the greater Dublin area, which includes Counties Kildare, Meath and Wicklow. Part of the strategy provides for the provision of additional suburban stations on the existing rail network, including the coastal suburban line to Wicklow.
