Joan Burton TD: Transport improvements due for Dublin 15

Just saw this on Joan Burtons (Dublin West TD) website

In particular:

"In addition Iaranród Éireann has promised Joan Burton additional services at early morning and peak times which will hopefully commence in January and ease the terrible overcrowding of trains.

Further major improvements however are still dependent on the successful introduction of a new signalling system at Liffey Junction.

Joan commented: “Although promised for the last 7 years, Iaranród Éireann have confirmed to me that this is unlikely to be completed before 2011. The company are confident that they have secured the necessary funding and I would urge them to complete this particular part of Transport 21 as soon as possible.”

Thought the plan was to complete the new re-signalling schedule by 2011 in time for electrification of the entire Maynooth line etc. More delays again?
