Im still of the opinion that they are leaving themselves open to capacity issues by using the narrow 2.4 width. Far too narrow.

A lot can happen in 5 years. The same was said about the Luas capacity - that it was more than enough. Its the governments plan to bring in congestion charging like London. Have they taken that into account?

Have the specifications been made public?

"While he acknowledged the tunnel could not be expanded when built, he reminded the members of the committee that Metro west was also being developed and passengers could divert to that, along with all the new Luas lines." - not much use for DCU-Trinity.
