I was waiting in Pearse recently and was thinking about this. <I was waiting a long time>
There has to be an argument to terminating "Intercity Train" in Pearse coming from Rosslare, rather than sending them onto Connolly and Maynooth.
Yes, it may require more trains, but surely having routes run independent of each other makes since. Pearse certainly has the room, that old platform beside the northbound platform, and a further area, currently used as a staff car park, which could be used to hold trains without interfering with the cross city Dart.
Consequently, services to the North and Northwest should leave by Connolly.
Is there any sense to what I am talking about, or is total BS.
Precedent in London is clear. Each of the major stations serves lines on their direction out of London. Is there a culture in Ireland ("Dublin") that people don't want to transfer and will pick their place of residence according to where they work so preventing the need to transfer?
