Re-Introduction of Rail network




At its peak in 1920, Ireland had 5,600 km of railway, now only about one third of this remains. A large area around the border area has no rail service. There are currently a few preservation societies which run old steam trains and a few freight services linking major towns along the border. This proposal looks to re-introduce a sustainable light railway connecting towns and villages efficiently so that residents of cross border communities can travel cheaply to cultural sites either side of the border.
