[PR] T21 ads in the Metro

Mark Hennessy · 07-04-2008, 07:48

Did anyone else see the pointless ads for T21 in this mornings metro?

Total New Labour style spin for a plan that is not being implemented any quicker, not indeed is the finance guaranteed.

Why not have a useful ad giving percentages of completion for each project alongside a finish date?

Don't forget the quote given by a senior mandarin in the DOT 2 years ago: "Some might say T21 is just a press release and some slides".

Spotted the heavily CGI'ed TV ad as well. Another waste of money

And a shiny new website too!

Same content just with different dates

The Rail Users Ireland website gets more hits than the Transport 21 one

I see that the City Centre resignalling is now at 2012 as its expected completion date. At this stage it will be pushed back to 2015/2016 and completed in conjuction with the interconnector

I see that the Kildare project has 2010 as it expected completion date. Where is the extra carriages expected to come from?

Notice how the Interconnector map is out of date.

It stops at high street not wood quay?
