>Given my amusement at the lengthy "ghost running" on the new Gold Coast extension, I am laughing hysterically over the ghost-running of the new Dublin line having started five months ago for its planned opening next month :-O

The testing phase of the 600m of new track for the rt 58 was measured in hours. As in, a few hours between when the track and overhead was completed, and when drivers were driving it for the first time in-service. No ghost running or driver route training. There were fleet ops people on points duty until all the auto points were commissioned.
