    Interestingly, Seamus Brennan never recovered (politically) after he proposed the end of CIE. I'll never ever forget his demeanor in Dail Eireann when the cabinet was reshuffled and he was out of transport. Having met the man in his capacity as transport minister, he was adamant that real change was needed in relation to CIE and he had a genuine interest and excitement with the brief.

    I know people said there wasn't much development along the new extension, but the photo in the Times is shocking. :eek:

    At least for once in this country we can say that we've built the infrastructure before the development.

    The complete lack of any P & R facilities south of Sandyford on this route really is nonsensical. It really does diminish the potential benefits of this route over the bus.

    • When construction starts again, nowhere except the area between the M50 and the N11 should be considered.
    • "Racecourse" and "Brennanstown" do not need to exist, even other than the obvious reasons. "Cherrywood" and "Bride's Glen" could have been merged into one stop closer to the R118.

    I got my free travel on it yesterday!

    Totally packed all day in each direction and again today they were running in convoy along the Ballyogan Road with people jammed in like on those Japanese trains where they need pushers to get the punters on board.

    Amazing what folk will do when something is free.:D

    Will be interesting to see how it works out from tomorrow when the ticket machines kick-in. :cool:

    Its 22 mins from Sandyford (20 from Stillorgan stop) to St Stephens green. What is the time it takes from Sandyford to Brides Glen now.

    40 minutes they say. If they didn't virtually stop at the two ghost stops they could shave a couple off that :mad:.

    Anyway, the crack was mighty at Brides Glen (the terminal stop in Cherrywood).

    Then I guess this is even worse :(.

    I turned around at Dundrum and decided to take a pic of this young lady while waiting......

    Note: They appear to be renovating the old station house at Dundrum.

    Not really.

    Had things not gone tits up financially, the apartments would be up by now. Originally, the Green line extension was following development.

    did anybody notice if there is good access from Ballyogan Wood to the Park Retail? Is there a clear pedestrian walkway?

    Somebody mentioned that to me that there is no information about how to get to the Park in Carrickmines from the Luas. I'd have thought they would make advertising this a priority, as the only other way of getting there is by car.

    Not true - Dublin Bus route 63 now serves the Retail Park from Dun Laoghaire.

    Trying to work out if RTE were taking the piss or not with this one -
    2055 There are reports that a number of people have been seriously injured in a tram crash in Weatherfield.

    2100 Police say the tram crash that has left a number of people badly injured in Weatherfield was not weather related.

    2102 Oops ... Sorry about that. We got a bit carried away watching Coronation Street.

    At least they managed to keep the extension open last night! :)

    (So far; another 3 inches of snow overnight. Last week it was closed for two days while Dublin buses were whizzing up and down the parallel Ballyogan Road). :(

    Since they cleared the line there are little 10 foot mountains of snow piled along the route.
