[article] The Interconnector Reannouncement list

I am really glad that the Interconnector which I first heard of from P11 will be built. I arrived in Dublin in 1996 and I remember looking at the map and noting that the two major stations were not linked by rail (unaware as I was of the Phoenix tunnel at the time) and I thought well it's obvious a rail connection should be built between them. Then when the Luas came along I thought well that's great but what you really need is a south of the river connection.

I mean there is and still won't be for another 6-10 years a way to get from Heuston to Stephen's Green that is quicker than walking it on foot other than a taxi. Why Dublin Bus has never had a route that brings people from Heuston to Stephen's Green via Thomas St I will never know. There must be thousands upon thousands of people that would want this to happen either for work, for shopping, for connection to other places like the Luas. There is the 92 but it takes so long I would rather walk. Anyhow bus routes is the subject of another forum.
