GARA seek better facilities at Greystones Station:
GARA are actively persuing Irish Rail to construct a lift to enable senior citizens or those with difficulties cross from the far platform. This has been an ongoing problem and GARA have between 30 and 40 members who cannot use the train for fear that they will not get across to the far track. DART services In a major review of DART schedules, a new regular 15-minute interval service is to be introduced across the full day (Monday to Saturday), with additional services operating at peak times (Monday to Friday) to match demand. This will result in Greystones seeing a major increase in services with every second DART serving the Co Wicklow town, resulting in a service every 30 minutes (Monday to Friday). Call Greystones station on 01 2874160 or click on http://www.irishrail.ie
