  In 1958, a double-track suburban railway popularly known as The Harcourt Street Line that ran from Dublin through Dundrum and Foxrock to Bray was abruptly closed and abandoned shortly afterwards. This decision was taken by the Fianna Fail government at the time. Forty years later, in May 1998, the Government decided to invest substantially in a new railway Luas Line B that would run along the identical trackbed of the Harcourt Street Line as far as the Sandyford Industrial Estate, a distance of some eight kilometres. This extraordinary reversal of the earlier decision to close and abandon a public transport corridor through the south Dublin suburbs has prompted the present book. References:Brian Mac Aongusa
