You could have done that but again it requires a change of modes; lets look at the real fact here. Irish Rail have been telling the government for years that the loopline is a serious problem and that capacity constraints would kick in during 2008; this has been known for a decade.
The government answer has been to do nothing on this issue for 8 years and then announce that on the 18th year their benevolent government will have the interconnector in place but only if the 'ten year plan' comes in on time. Which given this goverments project managment skills looks totally unbelievable.
Instead commuters are fobbed off with a temporary station 400m from the connecting tram system which may or may not be ready on time to bring them back in the same direction from where they have come. To add insult to injury they also have to buy a second ticket to make their almost 180 degree journey.
