    I'm of the view that Heuston electrification should be planned for in the post 2020 timeframe - eventually one would hope that electrification will encompass at least some non-interconnector trains.

    As for the 22K sets etc. - JC could have said "it's actually in the works" - instead she tried to make him look like some kind of spoofer. Perhaps one day IE will realise that RUI is a good thing for them - but not any time soon!

    Electrification of the lines in question should be going ahead in advance of the interconnector. Or have we put off the order for all the new EMUs until 2018 too?

    Interconnector always included the electrification component, the only major change since it was first announced is that the portion from Inchicore to Heuston need not be electrified if the Dart trains are in a tunnel from Inchicore to Heuston as was decided last year.

    It would be madness not to electrify Heuston – Inchicore. Otherwise there would be nowhere for DARTs to terminate during maintenance, or other closures of the tunnel.

    From today's Irish Times...
    Bids for Dart underground sought

    OLIVIA KELLY

    BIDS TO construct the Dart underground from Dublin’s Docklands to Inchicore have been sought by Iarnród Éireann just one week after the company announced a three-year delay in the project.

    The 7.6km underground line, which will link Heuston Station to the Dart line, was due to open in 2015. Iarnród Éireann last week said it did not now expect the project to be completed until 2018.

    A spokesman for the company yesterday said the original timeframe had been set in 2007 when the line was due to terminate at Heuston Station. The subsequent decision to extend it to Inchicore meant there would be 40 per cent more tunnelling than had been proposed.
    There is more...
