MAIN STREET SWORDS

ESB eBikes is a pilot rental initiative, with 112 bikes across 12 eHub charging stations and 12 virtual stations in the suburbs of Dublin city. The programme will run in some of Dublin’s busiest commuter locations across South County Dublin, Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown, Finglas and Fingal.

The aim of this initiative is to support the electrification of transport by offering an accessible and sustainable solution for people to travel around Dublin city. ESB eBikes is part of the European eHUBs project and is funded by Interreg NWE. We are working with mobility solution providers, Bleeper and Moby, and all four Local Authorities in Dublin.

DUBLINBIKES DOCKING STATION 20 AT JAMES STREET EAST

PHOTOGRAPHED 18 MARCH 2023

This is not where I would have expected East James Street to be located. Anyway, the docking station is beside Miesian Plaza on Baggot Street.

In 2015 Dublin City Council granted permission, at the end of January, to ESB Commercial Properties Ltd for plans that included demolition of all 20th-century buildings on the block, the renovation and reuse of nine Georgian houses, and change of use of part of another.

The three-acre site comprises a city block, bounded by Lower Fitzwilliam Street, Upper Mount Street, James’s Street East and Lower Baggot Street, and includes ESB’s headquarters. To the best of my knowledge the original houses on James Street East were demolished in the 1950s.
