    Phase 1 of the Navan - Dublin rail line, due to open in September AFAIK? Don't hold your breath waiting for Phase 2, though....

    there will be a Navan south (Main) station... near tax office and a Navan North station... (end of the line), near rail crossing on oristown/ratholdren road (near Aura pool)

    Due for completion in 2015 according to transport 21 site and irish rail press release.

    If there is any money left in government coffers by then!

    God's help will be needed to finish this project. Here's a thread detailing one of the major impediments in the way before it even gets to Navan.

    And if the train does overcome the series of blockages in it's way, there is the small matter of where the station will be, and how much the private owners of the site (who are developing a very large shopping centre in the same place) will charge Iarnrod Éireann for use of the stop.....

    The council is really powerless to take anything away from the Large developers......

    Do they still not own the old station?

    The old train station was demolished some time ago. All that remains is a large stone warehouse in fronf of the Cash & Carry on Carraige Road behind Parnell Park.

    The new Navan Central Station is proposed to go in at the former Murray's Steel site. This is owned by one of the Duignan/McCarthy property development companies, (Big House) which has bought up most of the adjoining properties with the express intention of developing a massive shopping centre.

    Are these the same people taking an action against the council for Kennedy Place?. Am I correct in saying that the station could be CPO'd, if it is Ianroid Eireann. They could serve the CPO now and it would have to be at todays value. The big shopping centre could be a dream now as so many retailers are struggling in Navan at the moment.
