Run Luas link over Grand Canal

Dublin Bus estimates that 85 per cent of its 117 million passenger journeys per year could be subject to delays of up to 10 minutes, particularly on cross-city routes, if the Luas city centre link goes ahead.

The Railway Procurement Agency has put forward plans to join the red and green lines through the city centre.

Why not join the two lines with an overhead rail between Charlemont Bridge and Inchicore, running over the Grand Canal. It could be a great feature too.

Excellent idea. Much of the route can be run alongside the canal, and cut and cover tunnelling where space is constrained might be less intrusive and more attractive than an overhead installation. Tunnelling would also make it possible to link to the docklands rail station
