Four-year delay to major upgrade of Dart network 'flies in the face' of best practice
It was hoped construction could begin on Dart+ South West next year – that’s now been pushed out to at least 2030.

Problem: you have two left wing parties in British politics.
Solution: start a new left wing party to unify the movement
Problem: you now have four left wing parties in British politics

The NDP Transport report published earlier this week stated we won’t even meet 50% of the sectoral emissions reductions
Yet shovel ready transport projects have been needlessly pushed out by years

A major extension to the Dart network that's to serve new neighbourhoods in west Dublin has been delayed for at least four years.
The move has been described as "contrary to best international practice" by one transport expert.

Probably a high capacity electric commuter unit but in fairness I've never experienced the TGV or a sleep train before
I have a longish train ride. Please entertain me by telling me what your “type” is, if you have one (or more!). How did you discover you had a “type” and/or how do you think that happened?

As someone who doesn't live in the UK I find the constant changing of PM tremendous fun
If you think a seventh prime minister in ten years will magically solve the structural problems, deep malaise and febrile atmosphere caused by austerity, Brexit and social media, you're a fundamentally unserious person.

Tell me you use Broombridge without telling me
Still a huge line of people having to tag off the train and then onto the Luas..
And the shiny Luas stop infrastructure beside the typical prison spec Irish Rail infra..
It's a bad joke.

This weird chef is right, of course. Every country that doesn't have a religion-specific call to prayer on the national public broadcaster inevitably descends into tyranny. Those bells keep our democracy safe!

The last 2 days have been an epic failure for the better Public Transport agenda. This government has shat over nearly every project you can think of.

Four months after it was promised, we finally have the government's transport investment plan between now and 2030. It's bad. Roads are in, public transport is out. A lot of public transport projects being put on the long-finger to make funding available for new roads.

The NDP review has been released and it’s not good news
NO funding for Luas Lucan, Poolbeg or Bray before 2030
No inflation matching for Active Travel
No funding for Dart+ South West
AND they admit we wont even meet half the emissions targets for Transport reduction
