The €3bn DART Underground project in Dublin ‘will not proceed as currently designed’ but will instead be ‘redesigned to provide a lower cost technical solution’, Minister for Transport, Tourism & Sport Paschal Donohoe announced on September 22.
DART Underground is a proposed tunnel which would link the existing line into Dublin’s Connolly station from the north with Inchicore on the line running west out of Heuston station. There would be stations at Docklands, Pearse, St Stephen’s Green, Christchurch, Heuston and Inchicore.
This would form a major element of a €4bn DART Expansion Programme, which would also include electrification to Drogheda, Hazelhatch and Maynooth; an increase in frequencies on existing DART routes; four-tracking from Park West to Inchicore; level crossing removals; city centre re-signalling and depot expansion.
DART Underground received planning consent in 2011. However, the business case has been updated as part of the finalisation of a long-term transport plan for the Greater Dublin Area, and while the overall DART Expansion Programme was assessed as economically positive with a 1·4:1 benefit to cost ratio, the National Transport Authority said the business case for DART Underground prepared by Iarnród Éireann indicates that its development under the current railway order ‘is not economically justified’, with a 0·8:1 Benefit to Cost Ratio.
NTA believes that it would be possible to redesign the tunnel project to reduce its cost, while a substantial part of the benefits of the DART Expansion Programme could be derived from the non-tunnel elements.
Options for the redesign include a shorter tunnel running only a far west as Heuston rather than Inchicore; a shorter tunnel running only between Heuston and Pearse where trains would turn back; and/or reducing the number of underground stations.
Accepting the NTA’s recommendation to rethink the project, Donohoe said DART Underground remains a ‘key element’ of integrated transport plans, and funding for the redesign would be provided with a view to construction beginning after 2020. Existing compulsory purchase powers will not be activated, and new legal powers would be sought for the redesigned project.
‘As government works to further stabilise the public finances, we must continue to seek the best value for taxpayers’ money in everything we do’, said Donohoe. ‘A project of such magnitude - in the order of €4bn - has to be designed and delivered in a way that best ensures cost-effectiveness for the taxpayer and the state.’
In response to the announcement, Iarnród Éireann said it welcomed ‘support at government and National Transport Authority level that the DART Expansion Programme is crucial for national economic development and addressing traffic congestion in the Greater Dublin Area and beyond’, and the intention to fund redesign of DART Underground.

African darter on a rocky island in the Orange River. The orange water is the reflection of the surrounding mountains in the sunset glow.
This Dodge Dart was one of the lovely classic cars along the Felixstowe prom this year. I didn't notice until I uploaded this picture how great the blue car looks next too blue beach huts, I think it really makes the picture.

Australasian Darter standing proud
She's actually drying out her feathers after fishing since they are not waterproof to enable her to dive right under for fish.

1965 Dodge Dart during ARC Car Show at Old Cowtown Museum. The car show was a fundraiser for the ARC of Sedgwick County.
The Arc of Sedgwick County began in 1953 when parents concerned about services and future opportunities for their children formed The Wichita Association for Retarded Children. This was the first organization in this country to promote the general welfare of all persons with mental retardation, to foster the development of programs on their behalf and to increase the public’s awareness and acceptance.
The African Darter (Anhinga rufa ), sometimes called the Snakebird, is a water bird of tropical sub-Saharan Africa.
This species builds a stick nest in a tree and lays 3-6 eggs. It often nests with herons, egrets and cormorants.
It is an 80 cm long cormorant-like fish-eating species with a very long neck which occurs in both saline and fresh water, especially near mangroves. It often swims with only the neck above water.
The male is mainly glossy black with white streaking, but females and immature birds are browner. The African Darter differs in appearance from the American Darter most recognisably by its thin white lateral neck stripe against a rufous background colour. The pointed bill should prevent confusion with cormorants.
The African Darter is a member of the darter family, Anhingidae, and is closely related to American (Anhinga anhinga), Oriental (Anhinga melanogaster), and Australian (Anhinga novaehollandiae) Darters.
There are an isolated tiny population of the African Darter at the Lower Mesopotamian wetlands in Iraq. The bird used to breed there in breeding colonies with Pygmy Cormorant and Sacred Ibis and other Waterfowl.
Unlike many other waterbirds the feathers of the African Darter do not contain any oil and are therefore not waterproof. Because of this, the bird is less positively buoyant and its diving capabilities are enhanced. After diving for fish, the feathers can become waterlogged. In order to be able to fly and maintain heat insulation it needs to dry its feathers. We therefore see the African Darter often sitting along the waterside spreading its wings drying its feathers in the wind and the sun.
Double exposure. The 1/125s exposure had a lot of bouncing water, but the 1/2s exposure had the speed. So I took the difference.
Every time I see this I break out in a sweat. I was adjusting my tripod on a sloping rock platform half submerged in the flood. It was wet and slippery and I had to tread very carefully. If I had slipped I would have gone in the river and drowned.
085 towing a dart back to fairview dart depot . mike and i were travelling in from dun laoghaire to connolly station when mike observed the loco in the sidings outside pearse station. as he had some time to kill before his enterprise left we thought we would wait a while and see would the loco come through connolly . as you can see it did !
i found out where the loco was taking the dart from a shunter driver after the south wexford rail tour . 2 days after this shot was taken
On this day I followed Dart 76 out to the terminus at the Gyle Centre and
there were clearly problems with the screen changer as both front and rear
screens were black. Passengers awaiting here weren't sure if she was on a
service 2 or 21 and goodness knows how many times the driver would have to
explain this during his shift!
To the right and here's one of these wardrobe-type things and number 601
screening the new terminus at Seafield alongside the old Eastern General
(instead of the former stance at the somewhat leafy Leith Links).
Standing too close to the kerb can be dangerous, especially if you see one of these
things coming towards you. A dual doored wardrobe (621 I think) brushed past
me recently exuding black smoke from its rear-end and I was very nearly poisoned by the fumes that filled the air. Also, as is often the case, the rear back screen was black.
On this day while trying to photograph my little dart 76 I felt I should
attempt to cover my mouth for fear of being gassed. I think the real reason
Dart 76 is in black is due to the humilitaion of being photographed beside
this thing - tee hee!
