    @bk The railway alignment from Waterford to Rosslare takes a fairly direct route, but that means it avoids all population centres in South Wexford. The total catchment is probably 4 to 5,000 people, most of that in Rosslare.

    New Ross is the only big town in South Wexford within Waterford's hinterland, but the line goes nowhere near it.

    Looking at the news of planning approval for DART+ North, why do I find so much on this thread about Rosslare?

    Because the discussion moved to when DART+ South might have an RO submission, and “what to do with Rosslare trains” is relevant to that.

    Further discussion was off topic, of course, but this shouldn’t be a surprise to you…

    Is 12tph between GCD and Bray even possible with the LC closures?

    I don't disagree that it is going to be difficult, I think that might even be the primary reason they have split D+S into the projects. But still, they would be some of the last LCs in the Dublin Commuter network and I assume are important for increase the frequency.

    If it were me I'd just bring the barriers down and let them learn the hard way, get them to lobby for an underpass/bridge since they like lobbying so much

    This * 1000

    Same with with the green lane at Dunville venue.

    Just keep increasing frequency to the point where the barriers are almost always down and the road is barely open.

    Alright, who here is the Irish Times researcher?

    https://www.irishtimes.com/ireland/dublin/2025/08/23/homes-planned-for-dublin-industrial-estate-increase-by-40/

    That report has been out for weeks at this stage, well over a month in fact, and they only got around to writing about it when it's brought up here 😂

    EDIT: Ah, I should say I'm not actually trying to find out, and don't actually care, but I just find it hilarious to imagine someone having to come in here and read Strassenwolfs latest epic around drumcondra 🤣😭. I mean, I enjoy this stuff, imagine finding it deathly boring and still needing to read it for your job

    There’s another journalist who lifts loads of his ideas for stuff from here and Skyscrapercity. To be fair to him, it shows he’s at least engaged which is more than many other journalists who just want to report on the latest scandal.

    I don't disagree and I think some people are just going to need to learn to the hard way. However from reading over the D+N objections about increasing Howth frequency to 6tph, I don't think they are going to advocate for real solutions. I honestly think they would fight to reduce the service frequency because "the existing level of service is already fine and I don't want my LCs closing too often."
