Summary
| Description |
English: Public transport via the Phoenix Park begins on the 21st. November 2016.
Platform 10 is like something from a Harry Potter book in that there is little possibility of finding it. Many Dubliners are unaware that platform 10 exists or that there is an underground railway that passes under the Phoenix park. A year ago in August I received an invitation to visit Platform 10 at 12 Noon on the 18th. I must admit that I got lost. However. I did arrive before anyone other than a few train drivers so I assume that everyone else had difficulty finding platform 10. The purpose of the event provide a platform for transport minister Paschal Donohoe from which to announce a 13.5 million euro upgrade of the Victorian Phoenix Park tunnel which will allow a new direct services to Connolly, Tara Street, Pearse Street and Grand Canal Dock stations next autumn. "For the first time, commuters on the Kildare suburban rail line will have frequent services directly into the heart of the south city business district," said the minister. The Phoenix Park tunnel is 757 yards in length and it has two parallel railway lines, so that trains going in each direction can pass each other. It is well-lit and an additional feature is the number of recesses built into the walls, every 10m on both sides of the tunnel, so that if a train approaches, a railway worker in the tunnel can step in to safety. During the second World War, the tunnel was used to store food supplies, so it became a gigantic larder, just as over-ground, in the Phoenix Park, great stacks of turf were built. Phoenix Park Tunnel services Seven new morning peak trains to Grand Canal Dock, and eight new evening peak trains from Grand Canal Dock begin on Monday 21st November, with limited stop services in the opposite direction: Morning Peak 06.14 Newbridge to Grand Canal Dock 06.50 Hazelhatch to Grand Canal Dock 07.00 Newbridge to Grand Canal Dock 07.20 Newbridge to Grand Canal Dock 08.10 Hazelhatch to Grand Canal Dock 08.35 Hazelhatch to Grand Canal Dock 09.12 Newbridge to Grand Canal Dock 07.25 Grand Canal Dock to Hazelhatch* 07.49 Grand Canal Dock to Hazelhatch* 08.10 Grand Canal Dock to Newbridge* Evening peak 16.20 Grand Canal Dock to Hazelhatch 16.40 Grand Canal Dock to Newbridge 17.00 Grand Canal Dock to Hazelhatch 17.28 Grand Canal Dock to Newbridge 17.58 Grand Canal Dock to Hazelhatch 18.16 Grand Canal Dock to Newbridge 18.40 Grand Canal Dock to Hazelhatch 19.13 Grand Canal Dock to Hazelhatch 15.10 Newbridge to Grand Canal Dock* 15.55 Hazelhatch to Grand Canal Dock* 17.00 Hazelhatch to Grand Canal Dock* 17.25 Hazelhatch to Grand Canal Dock* 17.55 Hazelhatch to Grand Canal Dock* 17.57 Newbridge to Grand Canal Dock* These services will serve all stations between Newbridge/Hazelhatch and Parkwest; and Drumcondra, Connolly, Tara Street, Pearse and Grand Canal Dock, except those marked * which will serve limited stops – search the journey planner for exact times.
