Docklands Station

Mark Gleeson · 31-01-2007, 14:18

As we all know its due to open March 12th

Now try going to the IE website slap in Docklands and Clonsilla and set the date to sometime after March 12th guess what

'Invalid station' comes up for Docklands and the online timetable says all the Docklands trains terminate in Broombridge not Docklands but you need to know the system to grasp that

Directions flyer from IE

Donal Quinn · 02-02-2007, 11:38

jees that flyer is a bit pathetic - did they get an intern to do it?

what about walking times and detailed directions from grafton st and all the new shiny office on the south quays

those offices should be flooded with proper flyers - including the timetable - god knows it's not like it would take up that much room...

Cant do that, it proves its not intgrated with LUAS/Connolly, despite them clainming it it.

Donal Quinn · 02-02-2007, 12:08

well maybe we could do one to show them up
i can do the text if someone can quark it to make it look nice
would the committee approve it - even just for pdf distribution...

Mark Gleeson · 02-02-2007, 12:12

But you need a licence for the map...

Now a photo montage could be more practical

Dublin Bus is really going for it

Should be possible to buy a rail ticket from Clonsilla with the bus included in fact it would be valid the whole way to Heuston if the status quo remains

I thought DB had to tender with other firms to introduce new routes which is why they keep tinkering with existing ones?

Dave · 07-03-2007, 20:45

No but they do have to get ministerial approval to introduce new routes.

Mark Gleeson · 08-03-2007, 23:15

Note the last train in 19:20!

The little exit from Docklands and the sight of a scruffy Dublin Bus opposite it, all enacted on Sheriff street bridge is perhaps the sorriest sight Ive witnessed in terms of Dublins developing transport system. The whole thing looks pathetic. But of course, I could be wrong.

But I still wouldn't mind a few Kildare line trains running into it.

Once again I run the mantra....IE promised this to the Oireachtas committee in 2004. But that promise was broken. Mark? Any chance of that fine quote from Joe Meagher again?

Mark Gleeson · 08-03-2007, 23:41

On Tuesday afternoon there where armed gardai manning a checkpoint at the bridge

Don't hang around, get the bus after dark seriously no disrespect to the locals but armed gardai is not a good sign. Been up and down frequently over the last year never seen any trouble all the same just be careful

ThomasJ · 10-03-2007, 21:29

I was down at the station today. I see the pis is working. It is a pity they connot get them on the maynooth line working. There seems to be a carpark at the station. I wonder will the 93 bus be driving into the station as opposed to where the 151 starts.

Mark Gleeson · 11-03-2007, 02:01

Car Park is marked as staff only on the plans

93 terminus is the stop outside the station, a shelter has appeared on the inbound side

I will be down tomorrow to confirm the intercity railcar has arrived and I will make a trip out and back

Thomas J Stamp · 11-03-2007, 02:11

Morning Mark. Nice to see the late shift is alive and well.

shweeney · 08-03-2007, 15:27

wow - integration. the bus times actually line up with the train times. though it would be more useful if it went further, say to nassau street - it could do a loop of trinity.

Thomas J Stamp · 08-03-2007, 15:53

wonderful. There are precious few trains to and from Docklands anyway so its not hard to organise.

What I love about the BAC timetable is that buses will run "about every 10-11 mins all day"

Now thats precision.

A question for Maynooth residents. how would you feel if the Clonsilla - Docklands trains were timetabled to actually start in Maynooth but say, no-one told you.

Would it bother you?

Just wondering.
