      The passenger trains still run along the quay, but they're all railcars now, sadly no locomotive hauled trains.

    Remember crossing that bridge or the first time in 1976, little did I know I would marry a lady from the town and rear two fine sons who in turn have their own sons now, hope to be home for good before the end of the year.

    I wonder if the replacements will look back at this,with fondness as I did, I very much doubt it 😢

    Look at Wexford now compared to how it was dilapidated then and people often comment on this channel that things were better then when it clearly wasn’t.

    Ireland was a different country then really. Mind you from where i am in britain so it was here too i guess. Times change somewhat too.

      I'm from Enniscorthy (living in Virginia now) and one time visiting Wexford town a girl a few years older than me says .. your mother keeps you lovely hon .. I got the sarcasm as I was trying to look older than my 16 or years old and in love with some fella there 😅

    Sadly it’s changed a lot in the last 20 years especially, seems the people are being replaced too

      Did you watch the video? Did you hear him toon the neglect and dilapidation? How is that better? Country was in a state back then and much better now. Irish people are not being replaced but added to and the newcomers children will be Irish.

    • @murpho999

      Halcyon? Wexford was in shite as shown in the video. Economy was a basket case. Poorest country in Europe. Emigration was rife and led to brain drain. No work, ruled by church, no divorce, contraception, sexual freedom or civil rights. Things much better now and would not want to go back to those days.

      Now we have emigration again, because people can't afford the outrageous price of housing.

      Rubbish, Ireland was a complete failure back then, 1/2 of my class emigrated!
