    Your best bet would be to keep an eye on the RPSI website or if you get a RPSI membership then you will get a email newsletter about everything that is going on.

    The osi map viewer is pretty good, http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,594711,772008,1,10 Select historic 25 on the right and zoom in. I find it easier to navigate in the normal map view to where I want to see and then change to the historic 25.

    That picture has a strong blue tint (look at the grass) which may be masking a light lime green, I think this might be truer but its hard to tell without looking at the original

    Movement in the yards is controlled by the shunters who gives instructions to the drivers. The shunters set the points manually and control the movements of the trains either via hand signals or via a shunters radio to the driver. Movements into and out of the yard would be coordinated by CTC and the shunter.

    What is the shortest platform on the Dublin to Cork line? Heuston Platform #1 (Bay platform in Cork would possibly be shorter but doesn't serve the Dublin line) Correct, although bay 3 in cork is two feet shorter What is the shortest platform on the network? Birdhill, getting close, Birdhill is 15 feet longer What is the longest single platform on the network? Waterford P3+4 Combined would be the longest physical (1218 feet) but I was looking for the longest single, ie with only one platform number
