Mr. Jim Meade:
There are a couple of features to it. One is that we are moving the Docklands station down to Spencer Dock. This will make it a much bigger station so that we can run a lot more of the M3 Parkway and Maynooth services in there. That frees up capacity. We are re-signalling as part of the electrification programme so that we are able to bring the trains closer together while they are working. We can physically get more capacity in. We can send trains down to the Docklands station as opposed to into Connolly. It is an issue of maximising the capacity of what is there through changes in signalling and through extra capacity at the Docklands.
