Irish Rail to add peak setting and off-peak bicycle spaces on many Commuter trains

Irish Rail has outlined its programme for additional bike storage spaces on 29000 commuter rail cars that operate on Longford, Maynooth, M3 Parkway, Drogheda, and Dundalk Commuter services. IrishCycle.com previously covered the additional bicycle spaces, but Irish Rail outlined details of the retrofit programme this week. The company confirmed that five seats on the 29000 class of train are being removed and replaced by seven flip-up seats.

It's not what we are getting on the doors canvassing.

Councillor Donna Cooney Dublin City @donnacooney1.bsky.social · 10d

Sorry tagged the wrong Catherine Connolly 😅 but the other one looks good too! @catherinegalway.bsky.social

Councillor Donna Cooney Dublin City @donnacooney1.bsky.social · 10d

They are stating that it would divert the traffic onto our residential roads and be more congested. But I wouldn't agree that this would be the result and why not trial to check if that's the reality.

Councillor Donna Cooney Dublin City @donnacooney1.bsky.social · 10d

Another couple of hours canvassing and getting really positive response on the doors for @catherineconnolly.bsky.social #connollyforpresident 🗳 No. 1

They are looking for remedies, unfortunately report just received from traffic engineer doesn't recommend those measures. So we have to convince them that this residential road is just as worthy of protecting as others.

Hi BlueSky!
Here's some action from #Week3 of our #footpathprotests for a #liveablestreet on #RichmondRoad 📢

We need @dubcitycouncil.bsky.social to release Richmond Rd traffic report & work with us to trial #filteredpermeability.

Been at it 9 weeks now - with big plans for 8th - watch this space!
