seen this on the RTE news earlier, always sad to see lines been lifted

but when did this station last see a train?

Full, normal passenger and goods trains 1963. Goods and occasional passenger excursions / special trains into the mid 70s. Finished by early 80s.

Yes it was nice to drive past over the crossing and glimpse the tracks, Massively overgrown though recently which was handy for the few bits of wildlife to seek refuge. Should of left the whole thing as a wild life greenway but that of course would not generate the so called millions this will to the local economies. We have enough placed in front of us to keep us occupied around the country.

I don't know about millions, maybe a few more cups of takeaway coffee at the cafes and garages. 

Bike hire places on the Waterford Greenway are experiencing trouble getting insurance cover with current compo culture. Seasonal businesses not exactly a licence for printing money and of course taking the CV19 hit now.

From what I remember reading, it was 1988/89 that the last train ran through here which was a A class and two bogie flat wagons to recover rail in the Youghal area.
