  1. To have a station at Kent, you probobly wouldn’t have room for a tunnel and a ramp. There has been considerations for some time to move the port out of there anyway, which is fair as the whole area is being re developed in the next decade or so like Dublins Docklands was. And there is a quay at tivoli and Ringaskiddy is getting the new motorway. airport branch is a bit harder because you have to considering getting over or under the link road. And then you have to deal with the big hill…..could use the west cork alignment (I’d love that tbh) as then it would serve togher aswell and curve somwhere before the viaduct back towards the airport
  2. Today was a big day for Corks Rail Future with the opening of platform 6 and the launch of the consultancy for Cork Luas I recorded the opening ceremony this morning
  3. Basically there was a spare unit which was swaped into sets for a bad one if needed. That’s why you have so many odd numbers. At one stage the CME told me that one 2600 set was made up of two bathroom cars! that’s why 2609 (which happened to be the one switched out at the time) became part of the hybrid or “mongrel” set with the 27 most 2600s still have there gangways, though initially there was fears that all of them would loose them. 3 have surcumbed to this fate! like it would matter anyway since the 2600s have there had CCTV screens fitted. Connecting the Gangways to make up a 4 or 6 car walk through train is impossible
  4. I don’t know for sure but I would presume vinyl. A friend of mine has an “arrow” vinyl at home. So it would make sense for the logos too I guess
  5. A few basic liveries - Arrow as delivered with points (may have worked a dozen times in service) - arrow with plug and socket logo - Commuter - executive commuter - modern IE (old destination scrolls) - modern IE - Modern IE without gangways -2601/02 Retro Livery
  6. Blarney probobly can’t be located where it was originally, so like carrigtwohill station will be from thenopisite side of the bridge there is sufficient space, it’s just a matter of buying the land which would require knocking the bridge down. also for my “plan” to work there would have to be a crossover regardless of having 2 loops
  7. I think there should at the very least be a platform 3 (possibly a loop) at blarney. A cobh to blarney service on the days the cruise ships come in would be an unbelievable asset to cork
  8. Tbh, I’ve play tested on my iPhone 12 and while driving is impossible due to touch controls, walking around is grand
  9. Roblox is PC, Xbox and PlayStation. Probobly will get onto switch 2
  10. Another tease for those more into the older stuff, we of course have to cater to that too (we have darts running to Kildare why not add some heritage!)
  11. A Guiness factory in west cork???? That has to be treason of the highest order!!! north cork Murphy’s, south cork beamish!
  12. When it comes to Bantry, you could delve into alternate history. It never had a dedicated oil train as whiddy island was constructed after it was built. Cattle specials also spring to mind, and beet was loaded here too of course. there was a few mills in the area too, a lot of them powered by good oul waterwheel in the 1960s!
  13. Fair play @leslie10646!
