    I assume that this will be the end of semaphore singling in Waterford. is the elevated signal box in any danger.

    Dublin port is currently just about at capacity. the plan from what I know is to massively expand foynes port and move a lot of shipping from there to foynes. there will more than lightly be a passenger service to adare for 2026.

    checking the image on paint 3D gives me this

    perhaps we could bring 800 back if we had a hand like that to lift it over the too low bridges

    6 car sets operating regularly now. was a gap of a few years when there went any. 7 car set doing test runs on Dublin to cork last year.

    was down at the west Clare heritage railway recently. unfortunately things are a bit of a mess. according to the website the railway was closed until further notice. I tried e mailing about 6 months ago but got no response. any ideas what's going on.

    interesting indeed. I often wonder how good electric is as well. would it be worth wile for Irish rail to build some sort of a wind farm or a hydro station for future network electrification

    great to see 458 in working order. it is such a disgrace that government's north and south don't give enough to keeping fantastic places like the DCDR working keep up your fantastic work

    was passing through Athlone midland recently. seems like they are doing work to the roof on the engine shed. unfortunately the railway has been disconnected from the line. i cycled the greenway about a year ago. a few people use it but more would use a rail system. if you kept a greenway beside the railway people probably would not use the greenway anymore there is enough land though to quad track you would have to get rid of a lot of the vegetation which residents probably would not like

    even if it does open on time the ticketing system probably wont recognise it like what happened when hazalhach to grand canal dock started

    i remember watching a program about a Japanese heritage railway that runs there small ish 4-4-0 on compressed air though it certainly is not the same as steam.

    absolutely terrible news. hopefully everything can be returned to its pre flood glory it is also posable to rate the topic at the top right of the screen which might boost its awareness
  22. irishrailways52
