They had expected they would be able to operate with minimum disruption by overlaying the section from Arnotts to the Abbey Theatre with raised (100-200mm) track.

The expected length of closure and the mediocre, disconnected bus service are both disappointing. It doesn't mention a frequency or timetable.

Operating the bus from Heuston Station would be a lot more useful. Operating a bus terminus in the bus lane on Bachelors Walks would seem problematic.

Operating bus services from Jervis stop would be problematic as Abbey Street Upper is shared with general traffic. However, east of the construction works it would be eminently possible.

I agree.

They will do this.

then to the close-in work and the actual crossings in a series of night-time and weekend possessions?
That would likely be impractical. A 'big bang' approach would be quicker, cheaper and safer, although admittedly at the cost of a closure. Not that they have to do two flat crossings and two turnouts.
