Stopping at UL should hardly come as a surprise.
It pulls in to the side of the old Dublin road in annacotty for all of 2 mins.
Not sure how they vary in tipp but hardly utterly mental carry on for a bus to stop twice in populated areas…
Looks amazing
Eamo! Eamo! Eamo!

I’m really looking forward to getting the Metro from the Airport to Tara Street and then the Dart home in 2035.

A Grand Paris Express in time will be great but Bus Connects will have to do the heavy lifting on orbital lines for now.
I do wonder if the mooted Clongriffin DART spur could ultimate become the start of an orbital line.
@Little_Lord_Fauntleroy not to piss on your chips but I just walked from Dublin 1 to Heuston quicker than a Luas would have brought me.
Active travel is king

The Red Line is massively over capacity and won’t be helped by c. 3k apartments and 900 student beds on the Naad Road that is underway right along the line.
DART+ should help things slightly but DART+ tunnel southside or another LUAS line linking to Heuston is desperately needed to free up capacity.
Some smart tunnel sections could improve times but the only way really is to increase capacity/decrease demand along the line so trams can move from station to station quicker.

About 10 years there were soundings about running a LUAS line along the Dame St/Thomas St route which would have enabled access to Heuston from the South Side.
If there were less cagers coming in Queen Street/Church Street/Blackhall Place as well as Amiens Street there would be scope to increase regularity on the Red Line significantly.

Should be done but the long mooted pedestrianisation of the plaza seems to have scuppered that plan.
Some plans to run one up west of SSG instead.
Yes there are too many cars. Driving in dublin is becoming more and more an excuse to take up space. Public transport is getting to a proper city level
