there is also a service from tara mines to Dublin port which is currently suspended due to the tempory closure of the mine.

trains on this usually cross over in navan between half 8 and half 9 on week days only. 

 

There is also a narrow gauge system of peat trains with trains leaving edenderry between 7:00 and 7:30 in the morning returning laden around 10:30. some more set out from the power station at 13:30

if you wish to sea the board na mona peat trains i recommend you do so soon as they are due to close permently this November however there is talk of them closing within the month. 

(wish you the best)

Thanks I was hoping to get to Bord na mona soon but if those talks are true I should put them on top of my priorities list. Thanks for the help

[irishrailways52]

no worries. I will post here if the board na mona situation changes.

update 27-7-2023

as of a few days ago edenderry has closed for maintenance. the trains will continue operating however they will go to Ballycon instead. there is hope for a return to edenderry when maintenance is done as the line is being rebalisted.

ballast trains depart mount Lucas and head up the line towards edenderry.

 

co-ordinates for Ballycon: 53.281644, -7.194928

 

co-ordinates for location of ballast loading 53.283749, -7.203559
