A new rail station and hub should be considered along the Kildare rail line between Hazelhatch and Sallins.
That is the view of Kildare County Councillor, Peter Hamilton, who referred to the matter briefly in a discussion at the Clane-Maynooth Municipal District meeting.
The issue arose as housing in Clane was under discussion. Concerns continue about the opening of the Sallins bypass and its effect on Clane traffic.
New housing proposals with Bord Pleanala have added to the traffic concerns.
Cllr Hamilton said that a new rail station/business centre or hub on the Kildare rail line (Hazelhatch to Sallins) north of Clane should be considered.
