Im still confused though, the notices say its to facilitate trackwork. Surely they need to close the railline to construct the trackwork. |

![]() The track through the level crossing is being renewed this weekend - hence both road & rail affected. Not sure why Dublin Bus is advising disruption for five weekends.

![]() That makes sense- there's been a TSR at the crossing for the past few weeks and there's a load of ballast and road-rail vehicles hanging around there too.
Hopefully the work won't have to be all redone when/if the new bridge is built and the LC is eliminated. |

![]() I think it's just general track renewal and ballasting/tamping. Ride quality over the crossing has been atrocious for some time now.
I would personally wait until the bridge was complete and remove the LC/upgrade track and the same time. But given the lack of progress on the Council's side(there's been no work that I can see done in preparation) and possible safety concerns with the current track quality I'm not aware of, maybe now is the best time to do this. Oh, and I should point out apparently the bridge isn't coming until 2013 due to the government's awful capital expenditure budget. http://www.neighbours.ie/forums/show...rom-Irish-Rail Good to see Leo passing everything off as an operational matter for a quango. No accountability for anything in our political system. Last edited by karlr42 : 23-03-2012 at 13:08. |
