The position regarding the opening of Kishogue Station will be reviewed by the National Transport Authority following the opening of the Phoenix Park Tunnel to passenger services, when service and usage patterns have bedded down.
Works to upgrade the Phoenix Park Tunnel to facilitate train services running from the Kildare line into Connolly, Tara, Pearse and Grand Canal Dock Stations are largely complete. It is expected that commuter rail services will begin using the Tunnel before the end of 2016. The actual service commencement date is a matter for discussion and agreement between the NTA and Iarnród Éireann.
