That’s notjim, not jim!
My point is just that on any thread any poster need only express outrage once!

Anyway, thanks: that’s pity, an hour is too long for it to work for commuters.
Even worse. Irish Rail’s current plan is to have THREE trains a day from Ballina to Limerick via Tuam WHICH IS NOT GOING TO SERVE TO GALWAY DIRECTLY.
It you want to eh “commute” from Tuam to Galway one will have to make a connection at Athenry for a Dublin-Galway train. That’s assuming the three daily southbound trains at Tuam do not arrive at 1, 6 and 9PM which in all likelihood they will.
Not Irish rails fault for this situation, they had this joke forced upon them and the above service is about the only way they can make it work in some shape or form.
So much for business people communting up and down the West coast to Ebay’s World HQ in Swinford as West on Track had people believing.
The 6 grannies on free travel passes will be delighted.
saw this over on platform 11.
good for a laugh.
mirror mirror on the wall which is the best colour of them all

last month’s progress report has nothing new in it 🙁

New road opening tomorrow means the N6 is more than hal completed. First good news in a while
Oh brilliant! More roads! :rolleyes:
ct it means Moate is bypassed. Even the most ardent hippy eco-mentalist would welcome that!
Moate is already bypassed- by the train! 😀
But seriously- Metro North is threatened, Metro West is threatened, cycling wasn’t included in T21, yada yada, but hot damn! The roads, they just keep a-comin’.
(‘eco-mentalist’- are you Michael O’Leary?)
Its the M6 motorway to Athlone;)
No really, it is.
Only a jackass could claim that we dont need better roads between our urban centres, wider, straighter roads are safer to drive on. Likewise we also need massive investments in commuter rail.

So true, so true. Can I ask a favour? If you see a jackass who makes that claim, tell us all straight away! We need vigilant posters, people not afraid to go that extra mile for the team- you seem like that man.
:rolleyes:
I was raised near enough to Maam Cross that I have known for years that a donkey stallion is called a jack but only just this minute did I realised that that was the distinction between an ass and and a jackass: a jackass is entire, an ass may not be. paul h, were you using the term jackass carefully, do you feel an ass with no testicles would not make this claim? Is the important distinction between a jackass and a gelded ass, or between a jackass and a jennyass?
Yea notjim i’ll have what your smokin:D
Although i was thinking more along the lines of –
Jackass – “One deficient in judgment and good sense”New road opened today!

Every railway project is late
Kildare route 4 tracking isn’t, interconnector can also make its target if they get the finger out.
No doubt though that there is a heavy bias in favour of roads, all of which seem to be on or ahead of schedule.
Any opening date on cashel – culahill ? have to head to baltimore in october, which takes a very long time.
the Kildare project was earmarked for 2006 in the DTO Strategy and was actually in the 1975 Rail Rapid Transit Study which gave us DART! pretty late by my reckoning. Wasn’t the EIS inadequate and had to be redone? I think it stalled for a few years between 02 and 05. An EIS was compltetd in 01 and it was 5 years before the Public Inquiry! However in Fianna fail land where schedules are revised fortnightly I guarantee the Minister of the Day will open it as “on time and on budget”
M50 upgrade. I think the M50 would need its own map guide because looking at some of the plans for the upgrade of the main junctions has me lost, especially the N3 and N7!!!! Cant wait for the M50 to be completed again at least they planned for the future this time!!!!:) few pics of N2, N3, N4, N7 and M1.:confused::confused::confused:
There are new plans for the N3
