    It would add some redundancy/operational flexibility and allow fairly painless weekend closures on metrolink south of Ballymun for maintenance. I am quite sure it will be extended to meet some day because it's a complete no brainer.

    Agreed, I think even the response of only mentioning a Finglas to Ballymun link was carefully chosen. I'm crediting the NTA too much though!

    Surely they’d take the 24?

    Only if the 24 was extended to cover more of Finglas West and South? Otherwise probably not unless it was extended. Anybody over Finglas East/Glasnevin would have the 19/24 but the Luas would be a bit of a distance for them outside people in Charlestown.

    But sure there's lots of potenial adjustments to bus routes once Metrolink is active and even more once Luas Finglas is there too.

    My hope is that once Metrolink is under construction the NTA will start speaking aloud about the next projects.

    • Metrolink extension to interchange with the line to Drogehda, Dundalk and Belfast
    • DART underground. The next game changer in my opinion.
    • LUAS extension form Finglas to Northwood.

    I feel they are frightened to mention any other project until they get the big one under construction but I am sure they have some idea of what they will do next.
