Delete - Per nom, the term "Trans-Dublin" doesn't seem to have any existence (and hence no coverage or RS) outside of Wikipedia. It would therefore seem to fail
WP:GNG and
WP:OR. Whatever content can be sourced could be readily merged to
Dublin Suburban Rail or similar.

Speedy Delete as Hoax - Tagged as such - The whole system is called
Dublin Area Rapid Transit - There is no "Trans Dublin" and
this proves it. It's a clever hoax but still a hoax nonetheless. –

Indeed. However, I'm not sure "blatant/deliberate hoax" is fair. Over the years I have seen
other articles of this type which were (at best) OR and CRYSTAL in tone. Perhaps, I expect, prompted by green optimism. Though, perhaps, not by deliberate deception. Whatever the motivation, this should be deleted. IMO.

Agreed in all fairness the article's been here since 2007 so maybe it's not deliberate, I wonder whether at the time of creation whether "Trans-Dublin" was a short lived unreported name .... Seems odd that there's a route map as well as it being listed in nav boxes .... If it was a hoax surely no one would've gone to those sort of lengths to hide it as a hoax ? .... Seems too much effort ?, Dunno but nothing on Google confirms this ever was a thing. –
