The barriers often come up and then close again within 50 seconds at peak times. Then remain down for extended periods of time.
I can appreciate that there is a safety issue, however there are many level crossing barriers that are simply not operating in a way that optimises the open time.
Why does a barrier need to close just before Sandymount station as a train leaves Grand Canal Dock ?
Surely with modern signalling something can be done so that the barriers only come down a min or so before the train actually goes through.
It's crazy having the damn things in the firstplace on a "metro-like" service.

We discussed this before, I agree with you. Mark sees it differently in terms of the signal set up. I think it could be tighter.
