Warbonnet Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I spent a morning in Kildare station a couple of weeks ago where a hideous new bridge is under construction. I took some pics of the ICRs while there. They might not be everyone's cup of tea (mine included!) but they are the future. Here's some pics which might be of use to some!

Warbonnet Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 There is of course the permanent way depot in Kildare, which played host to a few track machines and on track plant while I was there. I think this is the newish MPV which will replace the weedspraying train? Sorry it's only a glimpse, more information would be great! While I was there I captured the more interesting stuff on video. Cue on track plant, liners and 201s on Dublin Cork services. Might make another trip next week to get the additional liners and hopefully some 071s working hard.

Warbonnet Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 God that bridge is terrible It is, I'm all for wheelchair access etc but they could at least make the new structures look a bit better and allow them to match their surroundings!

Broithe Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 It is, I'm all for wheelchair access etc but they could at least make the new structures look a bit better and allow them to match their surroundings! I've never actually seen anybody use the lifts at Ballybrophy - and the new bridge is like jabbing myself in the eye with my own sore thumb every time I see it.

Barl Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 God that bridge is terrible It is, they're putting one in at Sallins too. It looks a fairly long spin up the ramp for someone in a wheelchair:eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djkonore Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 All this talk of foot-bridges reminds me of the foot-bridge next to the pedestrian crossing in Portlaoise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
