Imagine an incident at Drumcondra and all Maynooth and Sligo trains are diverted to Docklands. I've seen them set at Connolly for two-way working, which create movement conflicts and is disruptive. But last week they were all set for one way or the other. |

The plans for Docklands station were unveiled immediately after the Tram plans were decided. there is no tram stop at the nearest point to the railway station. would you think this is malice or incompetency?
I'm only being facetious about their statement. |

It is down to usual RPA <> CIE NIMBY/NIH syndrome + Spencer Dock not actually being allowed to have the station built in
+ CIE being screwed by the property developers. There's a book in this somewhere. |

I couldn't possibly comment.
You forget that CIÉ waited to announce the new bus station in Connolly car park until Luas C1 was approved. That would have put Luas down through the outside part of the Vaults Bar and along Sheriff Street (whether it returns to Mayor Street or not). Car park is under the words http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/attac...6&d=1162816652 They could also have elevated the Luas over Commons Street, but they er, forgot to put certain drawings on the website. |
