    UPDATE ON CLONSILLA: So yesterday i went clonsilla as coolmine and castleknock have no staff at those stations and clonsilla had, i dont know the actual name of the job, lets call him the 'crossing man'. So I askedn him what @minister_of_hard_ship told me he told me the IE signs are stored in museums, i mentioned if inchicore would too? He said yes there too and they be worth thousands and held as relics in glass cases But a friend of mine said they went white with the slightest bit of sun and were all fucked into a skip due to their condition

    Completely reasonable i know people around my own age that ill ask and see as id love to sign up and keep this alive as a lot of clubs from IRRS to the RPSI are all older gentlemen and ofc if no one willing to step up and replace their roles, these places might sadly close for good

    Ill try it today thanks very much for the tip, point u made on FOI, id say they refuse as it might be older than 2008 as that is a limit they can only give for locomotive drawings yet they give out 071 drawings but unsure abt other stuff in general Also my local station coolmine doesnt really have staff around but ill try clonsilla as there is the fella who manually opens/closes the crossing Another whilst im here, there is an old white and orange stripe 'mind the gap' on one the pillars on platform 5 in connolly
