We have been working on a business case for the DART Underground, a proposed 7.1km twin bore tunnel for electrified heavy rail in Dublin city centre, linking the Northern line to the Heuston Main line.

It will serve five new underground stations in the city centre. We applied our expertise in Wider Economic Benefits (WEBs) to estimate the likely agglomeration impacts of the scheme, the first time this has been done for a scheme in Ireland. Our study showed that the WEBs are likely to be substantial, significantly boosting the case for the scheme.
