I thought I read somewhere that theres some problem with the width of the track and that your normal commuter train wouldn't fit on them.

I thought they'd used that line for the maynooth train when Drumcondra station got flooded a while back. I could be wrong. It's happened before

I think that's just the split going the canal side of Croke Park where the Docklands train goes? It bypasses Drumcondra to go to either Docklands or Connolly; great for me because I get off at Drumcondra.

When you're heading west and you get to that rail crossroads, the one before Glasnevin Cemetery, the line that splits right is the Heuston-bound one.

almost a cult figure. as long as that exists but doesn't exist, dublin's edge is safe.

@pete ; this post just makes no sense at all moved out of context of the thread it was lifted form. I'll be furnishing you with an undeserved dislike in the coming days.

the idea that proximity to public (fucking) transport is some kind of boon to a location in Dublin melts my head.

Why?

I think they might plan to use it at some point as a sort of commuter from Heuston to Connelly. Although Connelly station is very busy you have the dart and then you have the Belfast and Sligo lines running out of there so its possible there could be some sort of service from Heuston and would travel that line but end up or stop some where else in the Dockland area.

would it not make more sense to just link the whole show in regard to city lines. transferring between two stations to get from galway to the other spots is silly. does the luas not link the two already?

Jaysis, you reckon you could get away with going spelunking in there?

The luas is there already but still they might look into it. It would seem a round about way but with less or even no stops and no traffic it could be as fast as the luas the difference in distance wouldn't even be double.
I have no idea really what plans if any might be.

"Did you know our GNR(I) V Class express locomotive No.85 "Merlin" will paying a visit to Dublin for the first time in 10 years next Sunday? She's arriving in Connolly at 13:11 on a trip from Belfast and heading out again at 16:20. Keep an eye out, she's big, blue and hard to miss!" The Railway Preservation Society of Ireland

Yellow is the tunnel and blue is the Luas.

I have to get to Connolly in the morning.

2 hours 30 from galway to dublin

1 hour from heuston to connolly (so the website is saying).

I'm aware walking is this is the better option. Just thought it was worth pointing out as the reason they should just link them for the craic. Belfast has the same problem. 2 more miles of track and you'd have a line from Derry to Cork.

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

Get the luas. It'll be ten minutes at most.

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

Yeah, the luas should get you there quick as anything. Unless it crashes into a car again.

 

[Scientician 0.8]

As regards getting from Galway to Connolly I'd have thought a Gobus to Eden Quay or thereabouts would be faster than the train set up.
