Written Answers. - Rail Services.
Iarnród Éireann informs me that it is planned to increase capacity on suburban rail services on the Dublin to Kildare line by 130% by end 2003 through: the deployment of new diesel railcars, the first batch of which are due for delivery shortly; the provision of additional platforms at Heuston Station, resignalling and improved track work on the approaches to the station to be completed by end 2003; and other infrastructural work, including lengthening of platforms at existing stations along the way, and a new turnback facility at Newbridge.
