The little exit from Docklands and the sight of a scruffy Dublin Bus opposite it, all enacted on Sheriff street bridge is perhaps the sorriest sight Ive witnessed in terms of Dublins developing transport system. The whole thing looks pathetic. But of course, I could be wrong.

But I still wouldn't mind a few Kildare line trains running into it.

Once again I run the mantra....IE promised this to the Oireachtas committee in 2004. But that promise was broken. Mark? Any chance of that fine quote from Joe Meagher again?

[Mark Gleeson]

On Tuesday afternoon there where armed gardai manning a checkpoint at the bridge

Don't hang around, get the bus after dark seriously no disrespect to the locals but armed gardai is not a good sign. Been up and down frequently over the last year never seen any trouble all the same just be careful

[Derek Wheeler]

Don't forget the Meagher quote Mark.

Armed Gardai have been in the area since a shooting on Mayor street a while back. I reckon its pressure from businesses to keep the area clean. That said, its far from clean. Local people aren't the problem.

In general, that walk from Docklands would scare the crap out of me on a dark evening. Proper planning and less indulgence to developers would have the station located at the end of Mayor street. I did the meetings/presentations with Treasury Holdings nearly 4 years ago. P11 was formed too late to save this mess.

"We certainly intend to use the Phoenix Park tunnel in the short term to bring trains from the Kildare-Newbridge area into Spencer Dock because there is a demand for that."

Strangely IE and the DoT have forgotten about it, it wasn't a once off statement have it in writting elsewhere as well

Its probably one of the safest areas in Dublin at the moment! but that's only as long as the garda high presence continues, there has been in the recent past lots of problems in nearby apartment with vandals and messing around with cars etc.

Also within a hundred yards of the station as you walk towards town the presence of two pairs of runners swong around a telegraph pole indicates a vibrant trade in the narcotic goods sector. Hopefully things can improve but in the short term I say IE will have a couple of security staff stationed there during opening hours.
