Re: Re: Development of Dun Laoghaire seafront

There are new plans for a multi million project with amenities using the area over the Dart line between Dunlaoghaire and Sandycove station. A good portion of the existing trench line will be converted into a “cut and cover” syatem similar to sections of the London’s Circle and Metropolitan subsurface lines.http://www.herald.ie/national-news/city-news/new-look-for-dun-laoghaire-conservation-area-1533238.html

i didn’t notice covering of the dart line in the plans above.

a thread on the boards where green jesus points out

That section of the line was originally built as underground.

It was the first underground railway in the British isles (if not the world) But they didn’t really know what they were doing back then and it caved-in shortly after it opened. As a result they just left it as it is now.
