Dempsey Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Could we see reopening of any closed lines which would be a potential benefit to the network and rail travel as a by product?ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Good news, anything that takes diesel trucks off our roads has to be a positive thing for both traffic and climate action. Will this Ballina traffic get to Waterford via Dublin or via Limerick? If the latter could it increase justification for reopening Claremorris to Athenry for freight?

Rob Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 Presume this Ballina / Waterford service hasn't started as yet even though it was scheduled for the end of June? Wouldn't have thought theย issues at Dublin Port and the IWT liner would have affected this. Just that l am getting withdrawal symptoms not seeing container trains....ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudfan Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 When I looked at the photo I thought the man in the hi vis adjacent to the loco was holding a VERY long piece of wood!!! Great photo for detail of a yard for modelling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
