I dunno but I think the existing facade on the ramp side is going to need a complete rethink after this, as it will look daft imo
To say the least. And where are all tons of the beautiful granite in the ramp going to go after it’s removal? Worth a lot of money. Knowing this country it will be left lying out to be nicked again, like the Quay Wall incident.
Looks like the Victorian facade of Connolly is also being cleaned in anticipation of the LUAS, about time. Its covered in scaffolding at the minute. Some dazzling white floodlighting would be spectacular on the building and the Italinate tower, acting as a beacon/marker for the city’s major railway & Luas terminal.
I am impessed by the works!
But I think we will have no trams within a matter of months. My experience on the 77 bus informs me that the seats will be flying out the windows as soon as they are installed (have witnessed people throwing “fixed” cushions out the windows!), open drug peddling, smoking, violence, vomit, drug taking, throwing crap at innocent customers….
But I’m still impressed!
But what happened the Westmoreland St. Dawson Street part? It is mental that the lines A, B and C won’t interconnect.
:rolleyes:They had rightly hacked into the old granite stoned Suir Bridge along the canal the last time I looked…i guess to facilitate building the new one ..I hope they reinstate the old bridge back to its old self before arriving at ‘next stop Fatima Mansions’
Paul, I’m sure I saw covered escalators in the design which uses the existing side entrance to go down to the Luas Terminus at ground level, correct me if I’m wrong….
Well they did re-jig the interior of the station to face towards the ramp – which would suggest a repositioning of the entrance to the new LUAS stop.
think the schedule now is that the trams will be running by April of next year … which is still a good bit away, they do seem to be making good progress though, the section running from the Red Cow depot to the terminus at the Square is almost complete … they’re currently errecting the overhead cables
Anyone see the report on the news last night about the port tunnel?? was really surprised to see how far they’ve got and just how substantial the tunnel will be when complete …
