back to croker

this is a non-story alright but just to point out that there is plenty of room for a new station near croke park on the line that runs under the canal and and on to the new docklands station

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2160406

given that the docklands station is now to be retained (i think) surely this comes into play again?

Also worth pointing out that this station could have exits on both drumcondra and on Jones road. for safety they could close the jones road exits on match days

drumcondra exit would be nice and close to existing drumcondra station as well as drumcondra metro stop just north of existing drumcondra station

On a broader level part of the problem here is that there is a little understanding of what the interconnector actually does. "a 5.2k tunnel between docklands and heuston" means nothing - whereas showing the new dart routes criscrossing the city would mean so much more. The general public looks at transport plans with only one thing in mind - how will this affect me?
