DART+ (DART Expansion)

ConorF

Will both the Dart station and the Luas stop be called “Cabra”? They may need to consider using “East” and “West” or something. Not great having two disconnected stations/stops on the wider network with the same name.

The art of starting a new thread to discuss a stadium vaguely in the vicinity of a Dart+ line instead of using this one!

So correct me if I'm wrong but a quick summary so far:

• West, SW, and North D+ approved
• West (and SW?) Fairly advanced in procurement (any eta on advanced works?)
• South likely split further into "South of Bray" and "North of Bray" (no timelines on when either of these will hit ACP?)
• Depot in planning stage
• Fleet - 3 units in Ireland, unit 1 at least will be going back for modifications (fairly standard procedure), existing DART replacement order maddeningly delayed, most likely until the budget.

One of the units was involved in a serious operational incident, and there was a rumour that set might have to go back to Poland as a result.

Quick shot of set 3 there, alongside set 1.

Thats the shed in Inchicore alright.

Set 2 is at Fairview

The operational incident is under investigation involved an overspeed event during testing over a crossover. Unlikely to be the reason to be sent back to Poland. Its not uncommon for the first unit to require significant remedial works. The facilities at Inchicore are not setup for that, its only 2 tracks and only one has a pit
