Metro North won't be built after all |
|
Posted by Olog-hai on Sun Jul 24 13:46:26 2011 No, not the commuter rail out of Grand Central Terminal (and besides, that's hyphenated). This is one of the lines of the proposed "metro" system that Dublin, Ireland has dithered on for about ¾-century. Costs rose to about $7.18 billion for a line that's only 10¼ miles long (that's $700½ million per mile, and only 6.2 miles of that was supposed to be in a tunnel).Irish Independent

No, it's the only project on the planet that I know of called "Metro North". Can't see the difference between that and Metro▬North with the hyphen? |

I could do the same with DART in Dublin (commuter rail) and DART in Dallas TX (light rail) if the former ever hit the headlines . . . |

Metro North may be revived by private consortium |

Posted by Olog-hai on Sat Nov 9 16:31:32 2013, in response to Metro North won't be built after all, posted by Olog-hai on Sun Jul 24 13:46:26 2011. A whole bunch of other new lines are part of the plan too. They want to do surface running within Dublin though, which won't work out too well; they ought to elevate. Also, there's no need to run under Swords when they can run alongside the motorway instead.Irish Independent

Metro North is the line through the Airport to Swords and (for reasons I cannot fathom as yet) sent further east to Malahide. It doesn't have to be specifically called Metro North in the article since this is an already-established historical name.Would you get all pedantic and say "SNJLRT appears nowhere in" any modern-day article about NJT's River Line? Can people still not tell the difference between non-hyphenated "Metro North" and "Metro-North"? |
