And all of this was replaced by an 11 lane monstrosity that always gets backed up (n25 at its widest)

Boring video

It would be a good idea to open the line to youghal and build a new line to dungarvan and use the old line from dungarvan to Waterford to have a direct rail service between the two cities.

All closed stations should be reopened.

Reopening of the Athlone to Mullingar link would have a choice of Connolly station living in Galway, Mayo & Roscommon by train.

Closed railway lines reopening connecting with the West & North.

I see this & imagine how less car dependent our city would be if we kept it 😭

It’s fucking backwards we are going

Ryan Tubridy's Grandfather, the unelected Todd Andrews (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_Andrews) was largely responsible for closing lines in the 1960s, especially in Cork but also elsewhere. Not possessing an original thought himself, he copied what the British were doing in the UK, but he also ordered the ripping up the rails and selling the land so they couldn't be used in the future. As you may detect, I'm still angry at the stupidity involved. While the recent plans for expansion to Blarney etc are welcome, there are no plans to expand to West Cork, which will hamper to development of Cork to the West. You can see the Albert Quay station here ruclips.net/video/t8OlST8kEBg/видео.html

At the train station on harcourt street a train crashed through the window and fell onto the road in the year 1900 because of greasy railway tracks.

Super video! Nice captures! Thumbs Up & Subscribe Greetings from Dublin & Merry Christmas Andrew

Beautiful captured💯

The acceleration on that yoke!

Very interesting history. Thanks for the wonderful information.

Albert quay, a mile of the old cork bandon and south coast and the cork city railway remained open until 1976 (freight only)

A pty the money spent on the "Peace Bridge" wasn't spent on a bridge to bring the line across the river to the Ulster Bus station. It still could have been called the "Peace Bride". It is very unlikely that rail will ever return to Donegal.

A few inaccuracies. The L&NWR station originally opened in 1861 as a ferry terminal with no rail connection. There may have been siding access off the MGWR liffey Line when this opened in 1864, however, the connection shown in your video north to the GNR(I) line only opened in 1877. In addition, the line from Church Road Junction to The Point Depot (now the 3 Arena) opened in 1878. Mention also needs to be made of the line from Amiens Street to Newcomen Junction opened in 1892. Finally, the line into Dublin Port remains and was used until recently for TARA Mines traffic (currently suspended as mining operations are suspended for cost reasons).

Oh the irony that an act that was supposed to prevent the closure of railways merely created a company that would close probably not far off 90% of them.

excellent work here, thank you for teaching me something

And soon, it will be this 😉ruclips.net/user/sgaming/emoji/7ff574f2/emoji_u1f609.png

All going well a major expansion is planned with electrification and the additional of many infill stations, creating a DART for Cork (CART?) Things are going less well for the Cork Luas which Cork City councillors seem to be opposed to, but hopefully the situation will change. Really they should also reopen the Passage railway to Carrigaline (third biggest town in Ireland without railway access) and even convert the N27 back to rail.

This video show's the railway's evolve and change with the time, who know's how the old closed line's will be used in the future.

Better fucking transport in Cork city and county 100 yrs ago 😂3rd world transport system in Ireland 😊

The ongoing gifts of partition

See the mess they made of Middleton r r station , fn wow, 😮

I find your rail history videos really interesting, the way you present them also makes them really captivating to watch. Could you maybe do Waterford next?

Ireland the land of undoing things and then putting them back. If you want something undone or pulled down then want it put back 50 years later at a thousand times the cost, and with an inter-generational timeline then by all means give us a call. Don't forget if the Irish lived in the Netherlands we'd be the first humans to redevelop gills and breath under water.

how long was the journey? my random guess is 16 hours....also Spiez looks unbelievably beautiful :D

Very good presentation. Always fascinated by the extent of railways into West Cork, my grandfather told me of taking the train to Courtmacsherry but how the dilapidated rolling stock made it a quite unpleasant experience experience. Rattling teeth seemed to be a common symptom. The unique Irish gauge meant rolling stock could not be easily replaced. Apparently worse still was the Dingle line where for purposes of stability cattle trucks were placed directly behind the engine, meaning passenger wagons were to the rear (ie downwind). Needless to say most preferred to opt for bus transport when that became available.

What a disaster they couldn't have planned a central station. It would have been so so much better.

Hope you don't me posting but there was a talk in the last year at PRONI about Belfast Central Railway: ruclips.net/video/YMIiCaCB4j0/видео.html&ab_channel=PRONIonline Thought would be useful for those interested in the history in detail!

excellent video, thanks.

There Was A Great Rail System Back In the Day They Claim Lack Of Use. What A Load Of Boll#x

Are there any plans to extend the railway to Youghal again? I have not been able to find anything about it

Brilliant video, it's such a shame that Derry's only station nowadays is waterside, yes it's a wonderful station but a city of 100,000 people needs far more pubic transport connections. Hopefully Derry can secure a new route to Portadown and Letterkenny following the publication of the All Island Rail Review, but I'm not quite sure where they will fit all of these new lines, unless NIR/IE construct a new central station somewhere like Foyle street to create a massive Rail/Bus Interchange.

Could I suggest a video on the old customs post and station north of Newry. I remember the journey from Dublin to Belfast with my father who was working in Dublin ?

I like trains too! Thank you for these, really interesting and enjoyable. More please!

Excellent

There was a connection from glanmire road to Albert Quay which ran along the road and over the Lee.

Interesting!

Great start to a chanell, the only way is up

This would be better with both old and new photos of the actual train stations. It's an interesting subject matter

So nice to see someone do the railways of Ireland, loving your videos can't wait for the next ones

Good video!

Nice shot!

Brilliant video! I love your channel, hope to see more support.

It's interesting to see a route to Switzerland via Belgium! I've taken it via France through the TGV Lyria, so its good to see that this is an alternate option.

Great southern railway wasn’t too great, was it?

What an excellent video, it would be great to see this kind of video to explain the history of all of NIR's Network and other cities too!
