    They’re also going to need a replacement-replacement bus service contract, in case the replacement bus service goes on strike or has operational issues.
    And then of course they’ll need a replacement-replacement-replacement bus service…….

    @Louise Ní Riain: No, at the moment when there is work on the train line, Dublin Bus drive from staition to station to make sure nobody is stuck. Instead they’re going to get a private service to do it.

    I’d be very happy if they also improved the already dismal inter City bus service. I traveled to Sligo recently, from Galway. Took almost 3 hours to get there. If the bus was put through the NCT, it would not have been deemed save. A total upgrade has to happen.

    Be great if they’d put new track in or have a commuter plan or do anything with some foresight.
