Default Docklands Station

As we all know its due to open March 12th

Now try going to the IE website slap in Docklands and Clonsilla and set the date to sometime after March 12th guess what

'Invalid station' comes up for Docklands and the online timetable says all the Docklands trains terminate in Broombridge not Docklands but you need to know the system to grasp that

jees that flyer is a bit pathetic - did they get an intern to do it?

what about walking times and detailed directions from grafton st and all the new shiny office on the south quays

those offices should be flooded with proper flyers - including the timetable - god knows it's not like it would take up that much room...

But you need a licence for the map...

Now a photo montage could be more practical

Think you're ok with that one, its not the O/S map which is copyright Government of Ireland and for which you need a licence.

And, Google dont mind people adding-on.

Dublin Bus on the ball, new route 151 to serve Docklands

http://www.dublinbus.ie/your_journey....asp?route=151

Runs on Quays as far as Chrishchurch before heading for Grangecastle

Looks rather useful in fact, it does stop at Tara Street station on the outbound leg

Where the terminus actually is still unknown

Was down at docklands station yesterday and for a temporary station it looks good. The platform looks like the island on platforms six and seven at heuston. The pis is using white font like platform one in heuston. With buses now in place ie look ready to go for next monday week. One could wonder when this station gets demolished what memories it will have what services will have served it.

For what reason will it close again in the future? I was under the impression it was a permanent feature.

Since its planning permission expires March 2016

Quote:
2. This permission is temporary, to expire ten years from the date of the decision. The development and associated works shall be removed from the site on or before that date. Reason: To allow adequate time for the proposed Interconnector to be constructed, in the interest of the proper planning and development of the area.

Docklands Station is not Spencer Dock Station. The 10 year permission is to stop the government / IE trying to fob us off and not building the Interconnector.

If the Interconnector isn't built, having to demolish Docklands will cause such an uproar that they will have to provide somethign proper.

Or perhaps they'll just look for an extension to the planning permission. This is IE were talking about. I don't think a rule, law or condition has been invented that can bind them in any accountable fashion.

The "One Ring" might work ... but as you say I can't think of anything else.

Dublin Bus is really going for it

Should be possible to buy a rail ticket from Clonsilla with the bus included in fact it would be valid the whole way to Heuston if the status quo remains
