Apologies if anyon'e raised this before, did a search and couldn't find anything. Also, I'm not sure exactly what the plans are for Landsdowne, so I'm talking from a position of ignorance here (as usual).

It struck me a while ago that the DART overhead lines at Landsdowne seem to be supported in a couple of places by the rear of the West Stand. Aside from that, given that the stand is looming over the track, it's difficult to see how any sort of major structural work could be done on it without impacting DART services to some extent.

I'm probably just being paranoid, but I'm a bit worried about IE giving us something like two days notice that there'll be shuttle buses from GCD to Sandymount for a year.
