    Thumbs down Luas

    Does anyone understand how buses and trains can get going sooner than the luas.after the snow.


    Does some little man have to go along and push the snow out of the grooves first


    I would have expected them to be off first.

    Nothing surprises with the Luas, they couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery.

    They probably had to check with the trade unions to make sure they were happy to allow the luas to run.....you have to remember the luas runs at the permission of the unions and at their whim....not for public necessity

    One would imagine that it should be easy to clear the snow away from between the tracks. The old trains in America were fitted with an implement to push things out of the way.

    For a system that cost so many millions,or is it billions, one would imagine that a tremendous amount of people could be moved around rather easily. When one sees how many roads that the council has treated it seems odd

    Exactly a simple track plough, its one mode of transport that should of been operating.
