Phoenix park now open

Thomas the Tank · 22-01-2008, 09:23

News Talk did a piece this morning on the new Phoenix Park station particularly focusing on whether there's any point opening up a new station when you can barely squeeze on to the existing trains as it is. The reporter was going to get on one of the peak time trains and report on the horrors that awaited him

I only heard it up until I left the house at about 8am. Anyone hear it after that?

Incidentally the 8.17 Coolmine-Bray train has almost always left Drumcondra station and then a minute later is stopped up on the tracks for a few mins waiting for a platform to clear. Yesterday morning this did not happen and I thought that it was due to the extra couple of minutes added to the journey now that we're stopping at the Phoenix Park. This morning however it stopped up twice for a total of five mins with no explanation to customers as always.
