Dublin 15 is going to get a lot more congested.

    Its more that, that particular route has a direct off ramp to J6 (clue in the name), and got lucky with the traffic.

    Normally at peak time that off ramp is a car park and crawls, can be backed up to Finglas.

    Happened me too. When there was no sign for diversion to Auburn, I assumed that there was a lane open over the bridge. There wasn't. So I ended up paying two tolls.

    I see the diggers have started the foundation work on the large empty site surrounding the Lidl in Clonsilla for housing. Being honest, with the trees cut down, the site looked very bleak for the last few years so I'm glad to see what hopefully will be attractive looking housing and landscaping there. Of course, the added motor traffic will be a drawback...

    Avoid junction 2 on the N3 (shopping centre/snugborough/village) they've turned the lights off for the works and there are massive delays

    Lights back in action with some delays now. Same as yesterday, they seem to be upgrading lights in 30 mins to an hour windows.

    Article on Dart+ and future plans for Maynooth line. Don't hold your breath, first train to be delivered in Sep 2024 and tested on track for a full year and only then put into effect on Dublin-Drogheda in late 2025. Then "over the next few years" IR plan to roll out the same technology on Dublin-Maythooth line.

    All good but at a seriously slow pace and years behind requirements. By the time they come into operation the technology could already be outdated. Surprised with "Electric and battery-operated trains emit between 20% and 35% fewer emissions than diesel trains."

    I moved to D15 in 2004, and part of the attraction was that it was planned to have the Dart running within "a couple of years". My definition of a couple is clearly different from Irish Rail's.

    I moved in 2004 also and we were to have two Metro West stops on the snugborough road near Waterville. At least the DART should happen!

    I was at a number of meetings in 2010 with the RPA to discuss Metro West and made suggestions about its routing across Porterstown Park towards Liffey Valley.

    It's gone now totally though. Nowhere near the national development plan

    Good thread here on the lack of options for West Dublin if/when M50 is out of bounds.
