From the Soutsiders perspective look at the volumes getting on the train at Clontarf Road (East Point Business Park) going to the southside in the evening. They will now go to Pearse and have to change trains. Yea big swing its just a change train but still inconvience that could be avoided.
Admit sometimes for the better good you do need to cause some inconvience but even considering the cross track issue am sure you can still accomadate trains on the traditional dart route.

Gary, people can't have it every way, in time people will forget about the 'old' DART route. Mixing and matching will cause problems in the signaling and ruin the planned frequency. The Interconnector will create a level of integration that this city has not seen, the amount of benefit it will bring is worth the minor inconvenience to a few who have to change at Pearse.
