    I thought my reply was neat and comprehensive. :D

    I am very experienced at this - just not this particular one!

    I see.

    You actually know how a board works

    So, are you going to re-post your comments?

    Why? They seem very readable to me? What are you talking about? :confused:

    Bill, by including your comments in the "originally posted by strassenwolf" section, your post atributed comments to me which I did not make.

    You know how to use the quote function.

    So would you ever just stop being a twat. Edit the post, and let us move on.

    Three things:

    (1) Yes, I know how to edit and quote.

    (2) I did not understand what issue you had with the way I did my reply, until you pointed out that it could be read as if my replies were part of your quote (though I could argue that one)

    (3) Calling me a "twat" is really not how to endear yourself to me.

    I'd like to hear how you'd argue it, though if you do argue it please do it on another thread. Somewhere in the "Sys" section, perhaps, so that we can proceed with the main thrust of this thread, without distractions.

    Actually Bill, I'm really not that interested in whether or not I endear myself to you. I'm mainly interested in making sure that my views are not misrepresented.

    So, are you planning to edit that post?

    Done. Already. Check. Happy?

    Your views were not intentionally misrepresented.

    It is good that you have no desire to endear yourself to me. Ditto here. I'm mainly interested in making sure that my actions are not misrepresented.

    You will notice the 402 trams on the line next week. Not in service yet but training.

    I live outside of Ireland, but visit very often, and every time I come into Dublin city centre it strikes me how relatively small the work would be to develop a rail station at Whitworth Place in Drumcondra, on the Midland Line.

    It wouldn't seem to be difficult: there is comfortably space (both width and length) on the canal side, for a platform, and on the other side it should also be doable to build a platform, with perhaps just some removal and replanting of trees and some earthwork. From my cursory glance each time on the aircoach, it looks like it might be possible to build such a station. (I haven't, unfortunately, been able to spend much time in that area of Dublin in recent years).

    I post this because there is a proposal to build a LUAS to Balgriffin in the years to 2040, via Drumconndra.

    It seems to me that development of such a station at Drumcondra, on the Midland Line, would open up lots of possibilities, both for the Midland Line passengers and for the residents of that area.

    I make no secret that, for a number of reasons, I think the metrolink should be built through Drumcondra, but failing that there is every reason to do what can be done to ensure that the Balgriffin LUAS and Dublin's rail services have the best connectivity.
