DART Closure post Christmas

Also, most of this work is done by contractor, not PW staff who would have been clearing points.

Took the train to South Dublin today, my first thoughts on the work done:

A section of the cement deck track seems to be left on the Southbound line at S&G station
The Southern points at Dun Laoghaire are gone - I think these were only ever a leftover from the days of boat/mail trains at Carlisle Pier.
Coming back to the City Centre, our DART went faster on the Northbound (still cement deck) track. I was very surprised that such a speed, about 30MPH I would guess, would be allowed on this!

Mark works were undertaken on the southbound on the sunday saw a yellow tamper machine on there doing work on the track looked to be lifting it. Doubt that it could have been back any earlier they were also working on the northbound on the sunday in various spots -- not as extensive as the southbound but a similar effort. Can you post pictures you are on about on here or are they for public viewing?
