It will make a significant difference to that line and it will also make a significant difference to other lines. We will be able to move carriages currently on the northern line to other lines, thereby increasing capacity. These carriages are fully accessible for those with disabilities. We have made strides with that. Regarding waiting times or having to pre-order or pre-book a slot on a train, Iarnród Éireann has done significant good work. These trains are fully accessible with a ramp onto the platform. Some platform work is required. Those with mobility issues will be able to access the trains like anyone else and that is the way it should be.
