Colm Mc Carthy is not much impressed with the recent road investment announcements. He strongly questions the wisdom of expending scarce resources on infrastructure which doesn't (and is unlikely to) have anything like the usage thresholds necessary for viability.
Hard to see much of a case for the DART inter-connector at present given the extraordinarily modest demand at the KRP stations and the operational mess that the interconnector would create on the northern line out of Connolly. The obvious pre-requisite for the inter-connector and a DART service to the airport are dedicated suburban lines north of Connolly. This is the huge advantage Metro North has - it will have dedicated tracks and equally importantly doesn't destroy other services.
