And how much does it cost to automate a level crossing?
There are 29 level crossings on this map if you zoom into the Limerick - Nenagh - Ballybrophy line.

Are any of these 29 already automated? There are 3 (A)'s when you click on the individual level crossings. There are also U's, CX's, occupied etc. I am unsure what these mean.
