    I'm going to keep it simple and give you the numbers and short reasons. I'm not going to bore you with a big essay. I have also created concept art which I have attached.

    Dublin Area Rapid Transit: Greystones - Malahide:
    36.4mi (58.5km)
    Class 8300 EMU DART (Stopping)
    Class 29000 DMU Commuter (Semi-Express)
    Busy City Traffic (6 DARTS an hour E/D)
    Coastal Scenery North and South of Dublin.
    Landsdowne Road (Aviva Stadium) - Scenario Opportunities
    FIRST IRISH ROUTE!
    Capital City
    31 Pretty stations, some are incredibly similar to.others making it easy to copy.
    Great help from friendly staff at Irish Rail.
    That's all, it's a great route and would be a fantastic first Irish Route.
    Below i have attached photos of all relevant rolling stock and a map in order.

    This has actually been suggested quite a few times, but does not appear to tickle DTG’s interest or LAMPOIL tests.
