Phoenix Park Tunnel Delayed

Twilliger · 2016-06-28 17:18:31

A friend of mine tells me that the Phoenix park tunnel being reopened is being delayed until the end of the year. This would do wonders for the commute to inner city Dublin from Carlow/Kildare. Anyone know what the set backs are a result of?

I think it's to do with the junction/signal upgrade at Connolly, Oct/November the date being bandied about. More info here.

according to the official link to the project from last year, it was planned as Autumn 2016 and still is the case, so how can you say its delayed when its actually on schedule ?

Is this a bit of a false dawn? I think that they said that there would only be 5 / 6 services per day using the tunnel. That would be practically useless if so. Anyone know more?

Hourly off-peak and possible 30min peak.

Irish rail advertising hurling semi-final "croke park" specials this weekend, to heuston station! pity the phoenix park tunnel is not up and running to run trains to drumcondra for this.
Or indeed use athlone to mullingar line to run trains from galway to croke park
