    Such a shame. Looks to be another nail in the coffin for Irish freight traffic. Let’s hope not!

    Don’t tell me the line is being closed. There are so many people employed by the mine and not to mention there’s talk of reopening passenger traffic to Navan.

    Glad Tara mines trains came back for a bit

      It was good while it lasted. They only came back for just over a week.

    How did you know they were coming back for a bit?

    The mines have closed before when the price for zinc fell but they reopened when the price went up again. Correct?

    Ok saw this video now
    And here do you explain that the mine is closed, little sad because Zink is not found in so many places

      Yes, I explained in the previous video relating to the closure of the mine. It was the falling value of zinc was the main factor in closing down the mine.

      Sorry but I must ask a question to you
      What is left of freight trains in Ireland?
      In a Swedish train magazine did I read for some years ago about traffic from Ballina to Waterford and it’s harbour Belview port, does it exist?
      Are there any freight train to Rosslare, which seems to become a very busy port nowadays
