Wouldn't be so sure

Bus Aras 6pm back Nov 2005 arrived Navan 6:57pm, fluke possibly but it proves the point that the direct route to Navan is so important to be competitive

That was good - but traffic can be extremely eratic up here, and getting out of Dublin is generally much much easier then getting to it from Meath

Was that the night of the Navan railway public meeting where P11 backed the project with it's then only estimated €450m (but now confirmed) price-tag?

Right, got a sample figure on a bus journey times from a Navan commuter today, just out of interest.

Got bus this morning at Arboyne at 7:35am, arrived Dublin at 9:25am.

Got bus this evening at 6pm, arrived Navan (Ardboyne) at 7:25pm.

Less of the inuendo on the board. RUI have continued to back Navan. I don't recall it changing.If you don't like what I said in my previous posts (despite clarification on the phone) then deal with me in private. What I said, I said as an individual. Im no longer a commitee member of RUI. If you don't like what other RUI members said, then deal with them individually.

For the record, there is more to life than this friggin railway. If questioning the project in terms of viability/deliverability forces you into remarks like that above, then you need to get out more.
