I'm not so sure it will be segragated once it comes overground. Also, will a tram have the capacity to serve Swords-the Airport-Ballymun etc?quinno said:Don't have aproblem with that, a few Eurpoean cities also do this (Stuttgart & Munich). I think separateing the trams ./ metro from the traffic above or below ground will have immesurable benefits, particularly in areas like Swords.
The problem is that if it is just a tram it may not have the capacity to serve the airport (in particular).A.Partridge said:Whatever it is (tram or train), whatever they call it (luas or metro), there is no doubt but it is badly needed! Dublin is still one of the few capital cities without a direct rail link to its main airport. Bring it on.

Apparently 2 of the 3 lines would have a stop near the Great Southern Hotel rather than in the actual Airport terminal.
Nothing on the RPA website.
I know the difference between a metro and a tram. THe rpa aren't being clear about whether there will be on s=treet running anywhere or not. The RPA may be using Luas type stock, which would worry me.Jaydee said:jdwex
I suggest you look into the difference between metro and trams a little more. e.g. metro has much higher capacity (ie passengers) and IS segragated!!! Journey times are therefore faster as the trains don't stop so often.
The metro north will take, between the airport and the city centre, approx 17min.
