THE STATION AS IT WAS IN FEBRUARY 2016

Pearse Station in 2016 was a bustling transport hub in the heart of Dublin, serving as a major stop for DART, commuter rail, and intercity services. The station building itself was a mix of historical and modern architecture, with the original 19th-century facade blending with more recent additions.

UPPER GRAND CANAL STREET CLOSE TO LOVE LANE

MORE DUBLIN BIKES DOCKING STATIONS

In Temple Bar there is a laneway or an alleyway connecting Essex Street to Dame Street and in recent years I have overheard tour guides incorrectly referring to it as Love Lane when in fact it is Crampton Court. There are two possible reasons the major one being that there is a mural consisting of tiles by Anna Doran and the installation is named “Love Lane”. Also “Love the Lanes” is a joint initiative between Dublin City Council and the Temple Bar Company to bring new life to the back lanes of Temple Bar.

Love Lane is located off Upper Grand Canal Street in Dublin, Ireland. It’s near an apartment complex known as The Northumberlands. The area in general is well-serviced with a variety of amenities and is in close proximity to several notable locations.

For instance, it’s near Mount Street Bridge and the Grand Canal. It’s also within walking distance of Trinity College Dublin, The Aviva Stadium, Grand Canal Dock, the IFSC, Royal College of Surgeons Ireland, RDS Arena, and St. Brigid’s Primary School on Haddington Road.

The area is well-connected with public transport, being on the main bus route to the city from South Dublin and within walking distance of the DART station at Barrow Street and the Docklands. There’s also excellent shopping on nearby Baggot Street, along with an abundance of fine restaurants, hotels, and pubs.

PEDAL POWER AT THE FOUR COURTS TRAM STOP

This docking station serving the Four Courts Tram Stop is on Greek Street across the road from the Hampton by Hilton hotel,

It seems that DublinBikes has rebranded with the new “Pedal Power” logo, but this doesn’t necessarily mean they have a new sponsor.

Here’s what I understand: JCDecaux, the French outdoor advertising giant, is seeking a new brand to take on a €750,000-a-year contract to sponsor the Dublin Bikes scheme. The managing director of JCDecaux’s Irish business, said the company will be going to market this month seeking a “strong partner” for the Dublin Bikes Scheme, which currently has close to 30,000 annual subscribers.

DublinBikes, a popular bike-sharing service in Dublin, provides convenient access to bicycles for both residents and visitors.

Docking Stations 103, 104, and 105: These three docking stations are strategically placed near the TU campus (Technological University Dublin) in the Grangegorman area. The proximity of these stations suggests that there might indeed be a high demand for bikes in this location. Having multiple stations close together ensures that users can easily find an available bike or return one without having to travel far.

The stations are situated on Upper Grangegorman and Lower Grangegorman, making them accessible to students, faculty, and nearby residents.

The Grangegorman area in Dublin has undergone significant redevelopment in recent years.

Key points about the area include:

TU Dublin Campus: The consolidated Technological University Dublin campus at Grangegorman is a major centre for education, bringing thousands of students and staff to the area daily.

Luas Green Line: The tram line provides fast and convenient public transport connections to the city centre, creating a multimodal transport network.

Regeneration: The wider Grangegorman redevelopment project has revitalised the area with a mix of educational, residential, and some commercial buildings, increasing the population density and need for transport options.
