How is it better than having it overground? Have you any idea of the amount of scum who will congregate down there? Ever taken the Luas or a tram in any other European cities? Far better.
Obviously huge cities need an underground but not Dublin.

Yeah I've been on the tram system in Bordeaux and its great. Its the same as the LUAS but has three lines and they actually link up.
Was in Oslo recently & i think 5 lines of Metro in population of 500,000. Only the city centre section is underground. Trams are not good as they share too much road with other users & dublin has streets that are generally too narrow already. If they built a Luas line to the airport would be better off walking.Quote:

They can wait it out in the 10,000 seater capacity wonder that will be new Dalymount.Quote:
