  9. Another photo right way round of the same article

  18. Inver CDR Donemana accident was 1913 not 1914 After loop removed at Donemana in 1946 both it and Ballymagorry had each got three points with a siding off the Derry branch serving a goods shed with a run round loop for the goods siding. Manorcunningham LLSR had two points serving a goids siding with a head shunt!

  20. See track.plan of Dublin.port from 2019 in reference to photo from Ciaran above in particular
  21. Yet again have been unable to.post photos even using the camera mode!
  22. There is a similar problem in NI where the top levels of the NI Civil Service are anti rail They oppose plans for more investment in railways such as Phase 3 for the Derry line promised for 2021 now put back to 2027 at the earliest Stormont says there is no demand to reopen the Knockmore line closed in 2003 on a temporary basis. Translink maintain this line each year to keep it open but without any services which is unique in Ireland Nichola Mallon the DFI Minister is all talk and no action. In the summer of 2020 she promised funding for a feasibility study for Portadown to Armagh line. Nine months later despite funding available the DFI and the local Council.have stalled all attempts even to appoint any group to carry out this feasibility study using Covid as a smoke screen! Rant over
  23. Adding 120 trucks per week to the road to Ballina is just what you would expect from a Green Transport Minister in Dublin!
  24. Foyle Road station was minimalist to say the least!
  25. Problem with this group is that they assume that running a railway is easy as they have Zero knowledge/experience of Railways So just the group for the local Council concerned to hand over a Museum and Heritage Railway on a 99 year lease to give them control so they could download 250,000 in grant money for vague projects. Rant 4
