Engaging in pure speculation here, but I don't know how they're going to reopen the line on the 4th.
Was down that way today and most of the deck track on the City bound line is still in-situ: they had only started trying to lift it this (Thursday) afternoon, and even then only at the very top of it at Dun Laoghaire's Southern turnout points.
From what I could see the Southbound line had been lifted totally, but the replacement wooden sleepered line was only built for a short section below Dun Laoghaire, and for another very short section, laid but not yet welded. But the yellow road-rail vehicles were busy ferrying track panels from Glenageary to Dun Laoghaire, using the City bound line to lay new track on the Southbound line.
