Port Tunnel

although an attractive line of reasoning, probably a better line

would be : businesses know costs will go up [ i.e. pay more in haulage ]
if more lorries be used

=> makes sense to reduce number of lorries
=> makes sense to make trucks bigger.

=> follow the money. Road Hauliers are a competitive lot and many of them are quite small so they share little information

Just curious as to how far they could use the tunnel for, could they send buses for Navan and on wards to Monaghan - Derry buses out the DPT and along the M50. Could the M50 hard shoulder be used as a bus lane?

Big problem is still going to be a northbound lane feeding the M50 from the M1. Make for some interesting viewing in 4 weeks time!

Although the web address looks dodge, it's pretty interesting:

URL removed. That has nothing to do with the port tunnel and is verging on spam.
