Disappointing but unsurprising all the same. What is surprising is that the planning funding for metro west was still available up to now.

Anyway it was nice to dream for a while. As a constant traveller to south/south west dublin it would have been a huge enhancement not to mention getting to the airport/swords. Only light at the end of the tunnel is Dublin bus's expected announcement of the enhanced 76 route from blanchardstown to tallaght operating hourly (or better) 7 days a week. Slight consolation!

So now focus switches back to metro north ......
