"The Limerick to Foynes rail line, opened in the 1850s, has undergone significant phases of growth, decline and near abandonment, saved by export ore from Silvermines. By 2001, the line was disused. But now it has been rehabilitated and due to reopen by autumn 2026. Hassard Stacpoole, a Co. Limerick native, seasoned railway professional, and Railway Magazine’s Irish Correspondent, will present an overview of the line's historical significance and periods of decline. He will examine the current rebuilding and reopening, providing insights into the restoration process and what lies ahead for this vital route."
