ah yes, Grand Canal Dock was fun, i was there waiting on a northbound train when the Dart terminated and dumped its passengers onto the already packed platform. It must have taken 15 minutes for everyone to get across the footbridge, and the slack jawed gawkers standing on the steps of the footbridge didn't help the congestion much. The station is already bad enough stinking of sh*te from Ringsend sewage plant but this was just ridiculous, so i walked back to work and left again at 7pm...upon arriving back at Grand Canal station at 7pm was presented with a nice 25 minute wait until the next Dart. After the maynooth line fiasco a few weeks ago, i was pleasantly surprised the service was back at all this evening.
It's days like that when i start thinking about Buenos Aires.
