I still cant believe that there have now closed the line to Waterford there was once a time when I used to go at least twice a week trainspotting in wellington bridge, and take nots of the locomotive numbers, the good old days, its all history now :-((

@chbitter I know its ridiculous that they can close a rail line, when currently investing in Transport 21 a so called 'world class transport system for Ireland' They boast about opening 7.5 km line to M3 Parkway, the next day announce there closing 35 km line, thats not progress. The western rail corridor opens, then a silmar line closes, if they improved the timetable it could have been saved.

Thanks for the comment

@COMMUTER29000 Just think about 10 Years ago some on in the government that there will be no more line closures, there was once a plan for a direct rosslare to galway train via limerick whatever happened to that plan, that's transport politics

@chbitter Its losing 2 million a year, that should be no problem with the government spending billions on Anglo like theres no tomorrow, surely an extra 2 million is nothing in that context. Lets hope its taken over by DB or some other train operator who knows how to make money out of small branch lines.
