The message that must be put is out is a simple one, the Green party are closing railways.

The people who vote for the Greens are the most likely people to be annoyed at railway closures and that should be the target audience in any campaign to save the line, make this not only a question of bums on seats but one of greens on seats. After all, whats the point in voting for a green if they are going to axe passenger rail services.

they also allowed over one hundred buses to be withdrawn from Dublin - at the same time there are more than one hundred buses worth of cars cloggin up the roads at rush hour. Using imagination + having to do some work is a lot harder then cutting services. Like I said at a recent meeting should this go on the easiest way to achieve amazing savings is to shut down the entire service.
