From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If built as proposed, the station would be located on the Maynooth Line and would have Commuter services operating to Mullingar and Navan, as well as DART services.[speculation?]
The Dublin Metro is a proposed light rail operation, with some designs for the station speculating that it would be built on an elevated section over the railway line adjacent to the Royal Canal near Luttrellstown Community College.[2] The Metro West line was indefinitely postponed in late 2011, with no capital funding allocated.[3] It was not included in the Transport Strategy For The Greater Dublin Area of 2016,[3] and described as "halted completely" as of 2021.[4]
