Metro North is going nowhere

Madam, - Surely it is time to put a stop to Metro North before it costs any more money. It was always a vanity project

Madam, - Surely it is time to put a stop to Metro North before it costs any more money. It was always a vanity project. There was never going to be enough demand from airline passengers for access to the city centre. Even in places where there is such a demand - such as Rome, New York or Chicago - they get by with surface rail.

The underground connection between Houston and Connolly should also be abandoned as the Luas already connects these stations in 15 minutes. It seems crazy to spend tens of millions of euro to shave off another five minues.

These projects were always of doubtful value. Now they are indefencible. - Yours, etc,

BRIAN DERMODY,
