There Might Be A New Luas Line Coming In A Very Unexpected Area
Dubliners have a love-hate relationship with the Luas and figured why not share that with other parts of the country. Yep, there might be a new Luas line coming to northwest Ireland.
In a submission written by OPW Minister Sean Canney and signed by another six ministers of state, as well as TDs from across the Dáil, there's been a proposal for a Luas line linking Derry with Donegal and Sligo.
They also suggested the establishment of a railway division of the gardaí to police train stations.
The Irish Examiner reports in the submission to the National Transport Authority and Iarnród Éireann rail review, Mr Canney reckons national rail network is not operating at full capacity.
“This connection could form a longer term connection to the west on track ambition to go as far as Sligo", say the proposal.
Fingers crossed.
