I have to agree with Gavin - no offense Mark but thats total bull.

As for NIs track being better than ours - unfortunately I'd have to agree with that. They used what looks like a good quality concrete sleeper in recent relays with tight sleeper spacing.

Irish Rail on the other hand in OnTrack 2000 relays used a narrow cheap-ass sleeper with a ridiculously wide spacing. Doesn't that put more pressure on the trackbed or something?
