There was an article in yesterdays Community Voice Newspaper (On-line article here), regarding the effects of the additional Dockland trains on traffic congestion. There's no doubt that tailbacks will increase at peak times as the LC barriers will be down longer (and/or more frequently). I guess I secretly hope the congestion will be bad enough to force Fingal CoCo to speed up new road projects/Bridges that will remove the LC's in the area.

Reading the article, as usual it looks like there is little communication between IE and the local authority....... although I think the excuse “we haven’t had the opportunity to plan for this because we only became aware of the plans in the last two weeks.”, is a bit lame....... These additional trains and the docklands station were part of the planning permission for the hansfield development, that the council approved.
