my uncle Danny worked at Colbert Station in 1911… that is all i have to say today
@Shane Hickey: it was only named after Colbert in 1966
Should try replacing limerick junction while they’re about it…. Clatterf**k central.
Any plan to electrify the line from Dublin to cork, Galway and limerick. Last time I checked it was the 21st Century. Not asking for high speed rail just linking our capital with the same power system as say the rest of Europe since after WW2
hope no exam students were planning on using the train – but I suppose there is never a good time to close and upgrade lines
have your say
