I was advised last week that accessibility works at Sallins and Naas train station are at an advanced stage of design and that Irish Rail have met with council officials in pre-planning sessions re the required works. I was told they expect to apply for planning permission in July and work will commence as soon as planning is received.

Obviously this would be very welcome but we have had false starts before. This is probably the most concrete update I have had though so hopefully it will happen this time.

On a separate note I am trying to get the station cleaned up for the Tidy Towns at present. Am sure all readers of this blog are model citizens with regard to litter etc but if everyone could make a special effort as the tidy towns judging is running at present and the station cost them points last year.
