Meanwhile, back in 2005, I mean 2015...

The proposed measures include developing a new 'Metro South' project from St. Stephen's Green to Bride's Glen, which would link with Metro North. Metro North is not expected to be operational until at least 2026. Part of the Metro South line would be tunnelled between St Stephen's Green and Ranelagh.



It has also called for an extension of the Luas to Bray, Finglas, Lucan and Poolbeg/Ringsend. The Dart network should be expanded to Drogheda, Hazelhatch and Maynooth, and an underground tunnel in the city centre provided, along with new railway stations at Pelletstown on the Maynooth line and Woodbrook in Wicklow.



A core bus network with high- frequency services and faster journey times should be developed, along with two Bus Rapid Transit systems from Blanchardstown to UCD, and between Clongriffin and Tallaght. The cycle network should also be expanded.

I wonder if the lads in the NTA simply just grasped the first version of transport21 and changed "2015" to "2035", wrapped it up in a new cover and pressed send.

I hope they removed the photographs of Martin Cullen and Noel Dempsey and inserted Paschal into the usual "Minister welcomes..." blurb....

More rubbish, the Luas should remain terminated at Bride's Glen, there is and will be no need for a metro along the same route, if anything it should be a metro system to Bray, Luas will not have adequate capacity or speed to be a real choice for people.

dont worry about details like that, it'll never happen anyway.

i used to joke that these things will be in place just as i retire, but its not a joke anymore (again, not that any of this will happen)
