You need insert the words existing passengers to the end of your sentance; it is designed in a manner to keep the existing station open.
It is quite easy to move/extend Pearse mainline to fit between Cumberland St and Sandwich street at very little cost and leave lots of room for DU works inside and under Pearse, so keeping Pearse open is a nonsense excuse for still building the loo at the bottom of the garden
To PVC King: I notice in many of your posts in here how you erroneously contradict and when you are shown to be in error you never say sorry. To say the least, this negates the effectiveness of this forum. Please desist sir.From a site assembly point of view the best solution for the station was chosen; a single plot in a single ownership; from a personal safety point of view in terms of natural light and proximity to the Archers Garage office complex the location is spot on in that it gets free private sector security input. I salute the site selection as perfect on the part of the project team.
You question my prose style, I have been consistent the distance is 200m from the existing platform it is interchanging with; well within International norms for interchanges. You should also salute the perfect site selection and wishes of CIE to keep Pearse Station operating normally during the construction phase.
Dear PVC King,
The diagram you quoted below is out of date
http://www.irishrail.ie/projects/pdf/DartUnderGround/7BProposedStationatPearse.pdf
and was wrong wrong wrong …. Is that correct???Your excuse for the Pearse DU positioning was to keep Pearse mainline open.
I showed that to be a nonsense … is that correct???Pearse DU alignment misses being under Pearse mainline by more than 200M… is that correct????
You have consistently attacked the spelling of others while your own spelling is atrocious … is that correct????
you would not like me to quote your mistakes … is that correct??? If you don’t say sorry I will do so.Many members in here have shown your posts to be incorrect … you never once have said ” sorry I was wrong” … is that correct?
And the proposal for the loo is still at the bottom of the garden.
Then post the correct drawing if you assert the CIE drawing is out of date. For the record I am more likely to attack purile repetition than spelling, we are all busy people. 200m is a completely acceptable distance for an interchange; I note the absence of anyone agreeing with your assertion that the drawing is out of date or that the distance is an issue. It seems CIE have got this station spot on.
You have posted exactly the same drawing again of the Sandwith Street portal with no alterations other than a temporary road closure of one of Pearse Streets feeder rat runs. You should be banned for spamming
The mystery of what is wrong with the Pearse underground to Pearse mainline interchange has come to light.
It seems that when a DU traveler arrives at Pearse DU they must first travel up to street level to the ticket hall then they will have to go down again to the tunnel under Cumberland Street and finally climb two levels through the new Pearse Street entrance level before having to visit the mainline ticket office. What a fiasco. I haven’t got a time from CIE/IE for how long that will take. I guess it will depend on the ticket queue.
to PVC … I have nothing to say to you until you say sorry to all those you contradicted erroneously in this forum.You obviously don’t work in anything related to built environment if you can’t read the plans.
The station moves from 1 entrance to 3 seperate entrances on
1. Westland Row (existing) – no reason for anyone to use this unless they are exiting for TCD
2. Pearse Street (new)
3. Sandwith Street (new)Each will have automatic barriers and ticket machines which will suit everyone except those who just go to mither the station tellers with their problems. run along it must be past your bed time…..

You came up with nothing except an out of date URL.
It is well over 300M walk … say sorry PVC
Until you do this is my last remark to you.Do you have to be told every little detail PVC …. find out for yourself.
To interchange at Pearse You will have to go through two ticket barriers.
Approx twice the length of Pearse mainline … over 400M + the up and down bits.
To compare, I can tell all here that a long DART is 174M longThe interchange is 200m; the exit from Sandwith street is neglible; the egress from Dart is unchanged. time for beddie byebyes

Where are the plans that display this?
No rail system does that because it creates un-neccessary maintenance overhead down the line.
Stop taking wild guesses because if you can’t add mathematics are embarrasing.

Now for the big question … has anyone a “fix”.
Don’t let PVC King and Peter Fitz put anyone off.So some of Ireland’s first metro stations design concepts are being mocked up in London.
