New Wheelchair Accessible Footbridges
Has anyone had the mispleasure of using the new bridges at Blackrock/Booterstown yet?
They are the most commuter unfriendly thing on the DART network. I was quite excited to use it until I realised the maze of stairs I had to walk accross. I asked a few of my colleagues what they thought, all answered "It takes f* ages to cross it, too many steps." I suppose what matters most is it looks nice. |

Blackrock opened Saturday but the lift is not finished
Booterstown opened Wednesday but the original bridge is still in place Its a maze alright but there are two stair cases in the old days it was a major bottleneck in Blackrock in the mornings it took ages to cross over The bridges are taller than earlier ones as they make allowance for double decker trains and new safety regulations |

Killiney opened during the week and the old bridge has been lifted out. Only one stair is open and the lift is not in use.

This morning I say a flat truck heading down the north quays towards the Point carrying something that looked very like the steps from a railway bridge. Coincidence?
