Metro North Route

Mark Gleeson · 08-01-2007, 12:14

Fingal CC turned down a proposal to reserve a route from Lissenhall over to Donabate which makes talking about it as a option rather pointless. Its important to note a huge lump of metro west has been reserved since 1975. Probably looking at ballpark of 250 million. Given Howth Junc to Ballymun to study stage is already in T21 its not happening in the next 15 years

Lissenhall terminus has been moved southwards slightly to faciliate a later extension by leaving options as open as possible. The car park is looking at 1000 spaces possibly 2000

Integrated ticketing could be implemented on all Luas and Rail tomorrow with zero investment in hardware, its petty infighting between the RPA and IE which make it impossible
