[article] RPA defends capacity of proposed metro trams

I think that they are running with the right solution on the right route with stations at pretty much the best locations*. However I think sticking with 2.4m wide trams could be a huge shortcoming. The airport terminating trams will go someway to giving the Airport travellers comfort but a lot will depend on the tram design and the amount of low floor space. There isnt that much space for large amounts of luggage on the luas.

*Would still prefer O'Connell Street instead of O'Connell Bridge and Parnell.
