"Remind me how many stations this would need to be done at on the DART line"

I think they make these numbers up just for the fun.

You obviously weren't there on Tuesday night Mark. Perhaps you should lay off the absolute comments when talking about a journey you didn't take.

We had to go outside twice before getting in to the...

I took Sail & Rail back from London during the week in an attempt to avoid some of the chaos involved in taking a flight these days. I'm unlikely to repeat the experiment in a hurry. Having the...

The ferry terminal is only used by one sailing a day, so it's not like there's a constant stream of people using it. As for the taxi rank - I never knew there was one there. I doubt it is fully...

Seapoint DART station

Quick question - are the works at Seapoint station finished or are there more works (platform widening, etc . . .) planned ?

Also, from memory there are some sort of 'holes in the wall' on the city...

What is this 'express' of which you speak ? It's not a concept I'm familiar with. Is it something to do with removing padding ? :p

Looking at one of those PDFs, I see Portlaoighise . . . interesting spelling. I guess it explains the Port-leh-oishah pronunciation on RTE.
