Reply To: Phoenix Park Tunnel Photos

I don’t know where I came across this as it was while ago when I did but as far as I understand it, the tunnel is to narrow for modern day rolling stock and that is one of the principal reasons for not using it. Widening a tunnel is as expensive as build ing a new on apparently.

However I’m sure its not beyond CIE to design around this problem. Some narrower or shorter carriages might work. Even reduce it to one track and timetable the shuttles so they don’t pass in the tunnel.
