Wow KeithStephen you've been busy with those times, I like where your coming from. Why dont you subit to Iarnrod Eireann's planning department. By any chance do you like the Rail Networ?

KSW · 15-11-2007, 23:19

Yes I do like the rail network hopefully one day I will be working with them, I conplain but thats the passenger side of me not the loyal side. I have subitted a copy of a timetable to them and they have forwared a copy onto their planning department. I know 2 train drivers who live in Gorey and they said that it takes time getting into Iarnrod Eireann. A guy was working with Iarnrod Eireann for 1 year and he appiled for a DART driver and he is now driving the DART.

Would you like to be a driver or work in a station?

Edward Ryan · 15-11-2007, 23:37

Keep at it and hopefully you will be driving the new intercity trains to Gorey.

It would be better if development had been restricted in that corridor and a new alignment run from Rathnew to Arklow along the N11. Instead the winding of the existing alignment is contributing to sprawl in sensitive areas with the old "if we loaded cattle here we'll load people here" being transferred from the WRC to the Rosslare line.

Ho hum!

Totally agree with you 100%......The N11 so much better probably more passengers than Rathdrum.................

They looked at it, about 400 million to sort it out. The evaluation numbers came back exceptionally negative, even worse than the WRC

Here is an interesting link I found regarding the Dublin-Rosslare railway route:
www.transport.ie/upload/general/9799-0.doc
It was a letter sent to the Department Of Transport on September of this year by John J Byrne, Director of the Mid-East Regional Authority.It complains about the single track nature of the route and how it is considered a draw back to the future development of the services along the route. The mere fact that Rosslare has ferry connections to the UK and mainland Europe should make it a high priority for Irish Rail.

Mark Gleeson · 06-12-2007, 11:44

If someone had about 500 million to spare that would be just enough to sort out the current line and it would still be single

Single track isn't the problem its the twisty hilly nature of the line in Wicklow

Mark have Iarnrod Eireann considered tilting the track it does prove to be a winner as like in the UK and Germany......
