Indeed. I saw it last week on the way to Armagh. Once the section north of Newry gets the grade sepeation treatment, its gonna do some business. I know James has made a good point about the train and its alternative benefits, but unless we get in line with other European nations, the Enterprise will die.

I love rail, but I will say to people here that if you love rail then accept that it needs to up its game considerably if its going to keep attracting passengers from the improving road network.
