Re: Re: The destruction of St. Stephen’s Green

The SSG stop is expected to be the busiest as it will take Metro passengers from the Northside, DART passengers from the South West and North coastal line and Luas passengers from the south all directly into the office, retail and cultural core of our city. And the figures show this. It’s been said a million times here already – college Green is not a major trip attractor for commuters – just a filter.
