Renaming Dublin's rail lines after people

" . . . McGregor . . . " - if that's knacker McGregor, then the Luas Red Line would be a candidate to be named after the man.

Absolutely not. Terrible idea.

And then spend years debating renaming them as societal norms change. Look at all the statues being removed and sites renamed at present.

And outside of Dublin nobody uses designated bus or station names other than a geographical reference. Likewise with bridges. You're entitled to your preference but to me Metro North would mean more, and tell me more, than the John Doe Line. Just like I rather the M1 motorway to the Mary Smith motorway.

It was a example. I'm not near Dublin, so don't follow the plans. Giving it a name after a person would be desperate though. Even MetroLink gives a hint to it's function.

The can name the Metro Sinead O'Connor as it's dead.

As with Luas CrossCity, that name simply went away once it actually went into service as an extension of the green line. It's just a name for the infrastructure element.

Has it happened elsewhere? I can only think of the tube lines Victoria and Elizabeth in London off the top of my head. Maybe Jubilee if you want to stretch the definition of naming a line for someone a little. But has it happened in other parts of the world?

For a joke to be funny - particularly an edgy one - it has to make some sort of sense. The metrolink project is progressing afaik

Some sort of project related to freedom of speech, arts, or music, social injustice, like a theater or such might be more appropriate for Sinead O Connor than a train line.

Or you know, people just think it's not a well developed idea, with little likely benefit, and a strong possibility of a Pandora's box of ridiculousness being opened, if it were pursued. Were you expecting a pat on the head or something?

This has to be the worst suggestion ever made on Boards.
