[18/19-3-2007] DART changes

[Mark Gleeson]

This has to rank as the most confusing notice ever (its the second most confusing actually)

It about twice as long as it needs be, it doesn't give any details on the extra trains or the fact they terminate at Pearse or Connolly

Can't understand the closure of Grand Canal Dock other than to allow IE to play some tricks with the signalling into platform 5
