Am I right in thinking that the Sligo line closed overnight Saturday/Sunday between Longford and Dromod/Carrick on Shannon ?
I can understand that it might have been somewhat obvious that the line was at risk of closure at the same location as in previous years given the very heavy rainfall. Having said that I am not sure that I would have been overly impressed to be thrown out onto a bus at Longford in the miserable conditions last Saturday night just in case sets became trapped in Sligo and disrupted services on monday morning.
Would there have been sufficient drivers available in Sligo to bring the sets up to Longford on Saturday night ? Maybe a landslide might have closed the line on the Dublin side of Longford anyway and the whole exercise would have been pointless ?
