Rail link for 100 million passengers

RAIL chiefs have predicted that 100 million passengers would be travelling on the train network when a new underground line through the heart of Dublin opens in 2015.

Iarnrod Éireann said the DART link will be the single most important infrastructure project in the next decade and key to getting people out of their cars and onto public transport.

The line will run from the Docklands on the north side, across the River Liffey to Pearse Street, on to St Stephen’s Green and out to Heuston Station.
