My point yesterday is that if you get your Virgin train to Cork and it cant get past the NER train to Cork 20 min up the road which has broken down between Portlaoise and Portarlington (even better just outside Heuston) it means there isnt any point. I would favour (but its not possible) tendering rail routes. Problem is the Cork route subsidises the other routes, in effect.

As for LUAS..... well, remember those lovely concrete barriers down the Nass road when it was being built? How much would it have cost to do them up? Then you could have run lots of lovely bendibuses along the route, and ys wouldnt have needed to dig up the world for it either. I guess I'm gonna get slated again but LUAS is another Vanity project and any transport system that is always packed to the gills to the extent that it is just aint working.

Oh, and another thing, when the CDE gets up and running, and if we get 200kph trains just you wait for the Commuter explosion to Thurles. IE balls everything up, why does the enterprise double as a commuter service? CDE will do the exact same.
