[edit] Terminal Two & Metro Link

When the hell are these gonna happen?

Soon my friend, soon

---

Anyone agree that the following bit might need to be rewritten. It sounds like it was written by Martin Cullen himself - perhaps it was? While I agree with many of the sentiments, a Wikipedia article shouldn't sound as if it has been lifted from a press release.

From there, 'Metro North' will continue to the Airport and onwards to the burgeoning commuter town of Swords, which has many business links with the airport and where thousands of workers at the airport choose to live. There will also be a number of 'Park & Ride' stops along the route. Although Dublin will benefit tremendously from an airport rail link, 'Metro North' is designed to be much more. It will be a major addition to Dublin's public transport infrastructure and will provide many travel possibilities, whether they are to include the airport or not. Together with the proposed extensions to the Luas Green and Red tram lines, the metro to Dublin Airport will connect seamlessly with Dublin's bus and rail termini giving access to all major modes of transportation in and from the city: Dublin Bus's vast bus network, Bus Éireann's nationwide bus network, Luas light rail, DART electrified overground railway, 'Arrow' outer suburban rail services, as well as Irish Rail's inter-city rail services to Rosslare, Waterford, Cork, Tralee, Limerick, Galway, Westport, Ballina, and Sligo, and the high-speed cross-border 'Enterprise' service to Belfast. The line will bring huge social and cultural benefits to the city. Journey time between the airport and St Stephen's Green will be 17 minutes (or 18 minutes if a stop at Parnell Square is included).

'there has been a train platform and tunnels built under the main terminal since the 1960's( as shown on 1961 Ordinace survey map of dublin airport'

- The Project Director of Metro North, Rory O'Connor from the RPA, has stated that there is no truth in the above statement concerning an underground station in Dublin Airport. Please verify the Ordnance Survey remark please.

[edit] Ground Transport

A anaon put the following in the section on ground transport, "despite the fact that there has been a train platform and tunnels built under the main terminal since the 1960's( as shown on 1961 Ordinace survey map of dublin airport)", i have since marked it as fact, as i can not confirm it my slef, and it would be nice to have some one else verify that this is the case. Also it would kind of be misleading, while if it did have provisions for train service it sill needs a line to be sent to the airport, and currently that is not one that i would coniderable as useable w/o it being refirbished. Also just becuse it is on the map does not mean it was built nor does it mean that they were built for that purpose, many airport have tunnels under them, mainly for aiport operations or utility tunnles, ans the platforms could just as well be service platforms for luggage and such. Also the date would not match up, the airport went under most of it's expansion in the 70's about 10 years after these platforms appear, and i doubt that they would have kept them in after the expansion unless their was a plan for the airport their was a rail link at the time and not 30 years in the future. It just seems out of place. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 02:38, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Charter Destinations

• Would it be good if someone put in a list of charter destinations and airlines under the current scheduled airlines? Jvlm.123 15:29, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Other airport articles usually do not include the destinations of charter airlines. Due to the fact that theyt are chartered, thus, they do not have scheduled services and thus the destinations would vary frequently. I'd say just list the airlines but not the destinations.

[edit] Irish

I've partially reverted edits made by User:Jim236 which put the Irish name of Dublin Airport Authority into both the article text and infobox. The infobox is meant to be a quick guide, and since this is the English language Wikipedia the correct place to talk about the Irish name of Dublin Airport Authority plc is in the Dublin Airport Authority article, not every article which links to it. Likewise for Dublin / Baile Átha Cliath.

And perhaps you could use the preview button and edit summaries rather than 50 or so edits? Thanks/wangi 14:27, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

I've asked him to read WP:UE and reverted similar bilingualism on Shannon Airport and Cork Airport; as well as directing him to to the Irish language Wikipedia. --Kiand 15:03, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Delta- Orlando

Guys

Can I clear something up. Someone continually keeps adding a supposed Delta airlines service to Orlando on the page. Delta do not serve Orlando at all from Dublin There are connections available from all US Carriers serving Dublin to Orlando, sure! But if we start listing connections we might as well start adding every airport in the world to the list!!

Please dont add again —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.41.114.103 (talk) 12:56, 5 April 2007 (UTC).

I looked up Dublin to Orlando on Delta's website. Orlando is not even listed as a destination nonstop or direct. Bucs2004 15:41, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
