I LAURA WEBB
RESIDENTS who have been waiting years for the opening of the Hansfield train station will be pleased to hear that a tender for the construction of its access road has been approved by Irish Rail, and construction is set to begin
in the coming weeks. The station, which has been lying idle since its completion in 2010, will finally get the access road it needs in order to open. Construction is expected to begin in the coming weeks to have the road completed by spring 2013.
Once complete, the stateof-the-art railway station can finally open and local residents will reap the benefits of the long-awaited public transport system that will be running on the Maynooth line. Full Story Next Week
