Waterford Area Rapid Transit ? (WART)

Waterford (WART)

Does a future Electrified, frequent, city/ suburban commuter service for Waterford City area (WART/ WATS (Area Transit)) – deserve a topic thread?

WART/ WATS questions to ask:

BEMU &/ or cascaded DMU’s operation first?

Use of re-refurbished old LHB DARTs as EMU service first?

Train and platform lengths?

IF BEMU – charging locations?

Station location – a couple of stations over 2km on lines either side of central station?

EMU line voltage – 1.5kV DC / 3kV DC, or 25 kV AC?

{its also Election Time!}

Mod: I do not think a host of threads which just take the DART name and transpose it is of use.
