It doesn't fit, I've seen the architects drawings. Track isn't there, it was promised its not possible

Now depending on how you look at it you might fit a connection to platform 2 only but that would require a CPO on a industrial property

If the station was 50m further down Sherrif Street it would fit but then there would be no interconnector

You might fit two platforms down at Ossery Rd there but access to Connolly would not be possible, its about 650m on foot to the front door of Connolly

Even it if was it wouldn't be done since that would not satisfy the very reason for the Docklands station, the Hansfield SDV

The entire point is the station should have been built with its entrance onto the new bit of Mayor Street at which point it would be 300m nearer the south side, 300m nearer the IFSC and 50m from the Luas stop

CIE still own the land
