i'd imagine the locals all ready have places to walk the kids if the kids are interested in going for walks with their parents. if there is anything worth visiting in youghal then people will come.

I've already pointed out the popularity of the Waterford Greenway, itself a former railway alignment. I could have also referenced the similarly popular Mayo Greenway from Westport. Thus proving folks do actually use Greenways when they're provided.

People already visit Youghal, which you apparently don't seem to think is worth visiting. Nonetheless a Greenway adds another amenity to attract folks & add a cycling connection using the railway to Midleton. Why let a state asset just rot away with no prospect of railway reopening when it could be brought to life and used as a greenway.

In a welcome development this year, some locals are already looking into the project: http://www.eastcorkjournal.ie/two-senior-planners-to-be-assigned-to-the-midleton-greenway-project/

You are actually quite right there. And the tourist traffic is of course seasonal, along with folks driving from their homes in Cork city estates not wanting to unload at Kent Station to a train... taking the train to the seaside did decline for a reason.

Use this wasted asset as a greenway. A greenway that is a destination in itself and can bring more tourists into Youghal, the greenway could be eventually extended to Waterford.

Going to the seaside has declined anyway since the advent of budget airlines and affordable forgein holidays whether travelling by train, bus or car. You only have to look at places like Bray and Tramore as case studies.

Of course. Youghal is still a seaside resort though and does attract tourists to some extent, like any other seaside town in Ireland. I've been to Tramore and Bray.

A Greenway is an attraction it its own right but also adds to the amenities in Youghal. Why let a state asset rot away til landowners take over when it could be used like the Deise Greenway or Westport-Achill link.

I'm generally in favour of greenways. The Waterford one is stunning I will admit. If you are going to build a youghal greenway I would suggest linking it up with the Waterford Greenway and then turning the South Wexford line into a greenway aswell creating a Cork to Rosslare greenway or at least a Midleton to Rosslare greenway.

the Deise Greenway or Westport-Achill one have something worth the trip.

the old new-ross line is the better way to go. the south wexford line has nothing to offer in terms of greenway potential. a cork to rosslare greenway would be a vanity project in my opinion.

Why stop there, why not pull up the Cobh Junction - Midleton line and have a bike interchange at the junction? Better still the Cobh line is very scenic and double track so why not remove one line and add a Greenway?

I'm suggesting using an abandoned trackbed. Not ripping up active rail lines. In fact I think Midleton station could be utilized by folks wishing to travel on the Greenway. While most still would drive & then walk/cycle, it would be a great way to encourage more leisure travelers onto the train with their bikes.

Are you aware that Youghal is a renowned seaside town? It is 3 blue star beaches. I can assure you, folks do actually come to visit!

Greenways are themselves at attraction, allowing folks to cycling without fear of being mowed down by a car/truck, free from the noise and exhaust gases. I don't go to a greenway for the scenery, or a final destination usually, more to just cycling. Youghal on the other hand actually has a fantastic destination that would attract both regular greenway users like me, and tourists looking for a destination to visit.

Or develop Youghal rather than condemning it to be a depressed seaside town that once had a manufacturing industry. Youghal could be a thriving dormitory town for Cork but the current greenway mania will see to it that it will never be.

'Thriving dormitory town'... so instead of tourists coming via the greenway & making use of the greenway while staying in the town we build more housing estates, empty for most of the week, just to keep a rail line open. The mind boggles. There already in Midleton for that purpose, although in reality it should be Cork city we should be adding the population, not dormer towns. Celtic tiger madness saw the population of Cork City decline during the boom, while estates sprung up all over North Cork, forcing folks into long commutes.

Exactly. Estates sprung up all over North Cork, because we don't do joined up thinking on planning and allow speculative developers to drive development rather than by integrated planning. Greenway madness as I call it is then driving the destruction of railway lines that if planned out and managed would provide sustainable development of towns like Youghal and give a win win on both tourism and the quality of life for residents. Offer a good quality of life and ease of access for a town and people will want to live in it or visit.

The greenway stuff is nonsense in my view. We'll regret it in the future. I might say that of course given the theme of this thread, but just because a railway line is disused doesn't mean it lacks potential. Youghal to Cork seems an excellent candidate for commuter type services.

Why is there no service from Bray to Wexford that arrives before noon? How can a person trying to do business in Wexford travel by train if this is the service level offered?

If there is no train, then there are no passengers.

There are no trains available to do a service that early - they're all being used to get people into Dublin.

Something else would have to be cancelled.

The Youghal railway talk is silly, the town couldn't support a rail service, if the population doubled to 15,000-20,000 then there might be a case.

So why not plan for expansion. This is the sort of negative thinking by Official Ireland that has hobbled the Republic since independence. Let's not be having any sustainable development or provide for expansion, sure the fellas selling land for one-off houses wouldn't be making a buck..

To be fair the local authorities in Cork have planned correctly to make the railway work

Last thing you want to do is encourage commuting from Youghal to Cork, bad idea and it would destroy the financials of the Midleton line which is rolling along very nicely, probably close to or if not better performance than Dublin

Cork suburban rail is an efficient operation, low running costs and healthy passenger numbers means it requires minimal subsidy. 2 trains, 2 drivers gets you an hourly service to both Cobh and Midleton

Not a lot of track to look after, most of it brand new, fully automatic signalling. Don't have fast or heavy trains so track doesn't need much work.

This is the basis of commuter rail, short routes, good demand, allows for efficient and productive use of trains which are regularly standing room only which is fine for a journey less than 25 minutes

CTC signalling is staff, level crossing monitoring is " staffed ",

far far more then just 2 drivers.

Cork could survive without " commuter " rail , the GDA could not

All commuter rail expenditure needs to be focussed in the GDA for the next decade to solve the capitals transport issues ,


we need DU
Heavy rail Airport access
Solutions to pathing into connolly ( 4 track etc )
Solutions to pathing from Wexford

more LUAS and possibly Metro ( not convinced about Metro)

CTC staff are fixed costs, if the rail line closed tomorrow they wouldn't lose their jobs. The cost of them is irrelevant to operating costs.

A proportion of their time is needed to oversee the Cork suburban line , hence to argue its run by 2 drivers etc is nonsense, its requires ( like any other line ) a complete rail infrastructure to be in place, including signallers, level crossing monitors , track maintenance, stock maintenance, operatives, ,management etc

In theory CTC do require pay however if the line closed tomorrow they would still have to control Cork yard and because they are highly skilled people IE couldn't really afford to let them go because replacing them would take a long time through training.

The same applies with track upkeep, yes they do it however the level of upkeep is minimal and again if it was closed no staff would lose their jobs because they are the same who do other sections of track in Cork area.

The only major works on the line are sea defense. The other standard works are very little.

They are costs but not operating costs.

You cannot divorce overall costs from immediate line costs. If you closed down all of IE except the the Cork suburban , you would immediately see massive cost loadings, just to maintain that line

You simply cannot segregate costs in the way you state, its just ridiculous ( and its as ridiculous as IE nonsense subsidy per passenger per line nonsense, thats trotted out every so often )

The costs have no bearing on the line operating or not. So you can exclude those costs from the operating cots if it suits. The costs will be there regardless.

The point which was made is that Cork Commuter is largely viable and the subsidy is low like the DART passenger cost.

no rail service in ireland is " viable"

dividing the costs per passenger is entirely a " loaded " metric

Cork suburban is a subsidised operation largely because the state has followed a policy of limited rail investment as an alternative to roads

no you cant, its a fallacy, for the Cork suburban facility to exist , it must have access to facilities that costs large amounts of money to provide, including rolling cost maintenance , track maintenance , signalling etc etc

You cant exclude those costs, because these costs have to accrue somewhere .

we tend in this country to promote " flights of fancy " projects that often get politically delayed ( for all sorts of reasons ) and we use these " flights of fancy " projects to then do nothing practical for years , a classic case is DU preventing PPT from being reopened to passenger traffic

Instead of spending billions on Metro, I would spend it ( metro money ) on specific easy to achieve wins on infrastructure

(a) heavy rail link to connolly
(b) 4 track to connolly, this bullet will HAVE to be bitten anyway
(c) Improved south east service by building a railcar depot in wexford and terminating services there ( and better time tables to wexford henceforth )
(d) improving average speeds to 100mph , especially away from Dub Cork
(e) preventing any more destruction of rail infrastructure and/or disposal of land

( This is all " maximising current infrastructure" by the way)

(f) More LUAS, which has proved immensely popular with the public , including lines to Swords ( and onwards to a heavy rail link) , line to Bray , and a line west towards lucan

I think we tend to overlook this to our detriment in favour of MN & DU. Both MN & DU should of course be built - just a disclaimer. But LUAS is ripe for expansion and can become a genuine network in its own right. Expanding BXD into Finglas, a Western line heading to Lucan/Clondalkin, etc. Even revive Metro West as a LUAS line. Trams suit Dublin very well given our low density, the success of Red & Green lines shows this. And are also more accessible to our policy makers given the fiscal constraints we operate in - limited portion of the budget for capital investment.

But Metro is Luas, but better! More capacity, more frequency and yes, it is more expensive - because it works great. And continuing to tag on spurs to the Luas (to Swords, to Lucan, to Bray) only means the trams fill up more quickly and the service remains slow. It is accepted that for the Green Line, for instance, to go to Bray, the Green Line will need to become more Metro and less Luas.

I couldn't help but laugh at

*Sigh* I didn't say we shouldn't build Metro North - I added a disclaimer to prevent response such as yours.

The City Centre to Swords stretch is ripe for a metro given the urban density along the route, the airport, and the population of Swords at the end of the line.

But for a decent proportion of Dublin suburbs & inner suburbs (Clondalkin, Lucan, Tallaght, Blanch, Finglas) it is relatively low density single/double floored dwellings that suit a tramline well.

Its not about the absolute cost of all this, I believe there are solutions that result in better bang for our buck then MN. If we want a metro then lets build a comprehensive one, not another " single line " system

DU is a far more strategic project then MN, its a key to unlocking large amounts of capacity and tying the major rail systems together

All well and good for Wexford, but are you going to take money from a plan to accommodate 30mn passengers per annum to add to a service couldn't accommodate anything like that?

Well the SE corridor is likely to be the next Swords to Drogheda commuter belt nd we need to gear up to make rail the predominant commuter choice and try and avoid the road issues ( the M11 at that end is already way over capacity anyway )

Dublin - Cork, i.e. the only line that would reasonably justify such speeds. Again, are we getting bang for our buck here by torpedoing Metro.

its not all simply about €€s. to compete with roads rail systems need to have advantages , I see ( a) good average journey times and not just one line that has it (b) comfort and on train services not easily provided in other forms of land transport

I would not then seek to raise line speeds further ( as I ve argued elsewhere )

But Metro is Luas, but better! More capacity, more frequency and yes, it is more expensive - because it works great. And continuing to tag on spurs to the Luas (to Swords, to Lucan, to Bray) only means the trams fill up more quickly and the service remains slow. It is accepted that for the Green Line, for instance, to go to Bray, the Green Line will need to become more Metro and less Luas.

we have a long way to go, before LUAS is at capacity, speed also per se is not the issue, average road speeds in Dublin are close to walking speeds and comparable to bikes, yet we have loads of people in cars

I couldn't help but laugh at



... because a better service in Metro will prove less popular? Or are you forcing Luas on us because, "ah shure, ye like Luas, ye don't need a fancy schmancy Metro!"

A proper planned all encompassing Metro would be a useful project, but this state will never have the resources ( certainly on its own ) to build it

LUAS is somewhat cheaper, being overground, and has proven popular ( and its popularity when it was proposed was seriously questioned )


Look at the BxD fiasco, many due to a mis-informed position adopted and led by garret fizgerald and several economists, the connection of the two lines was delayed but " flights of fancy : that involved and expensive underground portion

Funnily when we actually moved beyond that fancy we have found it entirely practical to build an above ground link !!!.

It is largely viable. I never said it was viable.

The facts still remain maintenance on the line is very cheap because it's a bran new line. Bridges, Level Crossing, Signals, Tracks all bran new. The only maintenance is routine. Typical low cost work carried out are your service of the LC, points machines and signalling, replace the odd sleepier. Rolling stock maintenance.

The only major maintenance would be to lay a bit of Ballast, weed spray once or twice a year. A train going around 40mph will not wear the infrastructure. It could well be 15-20 years before major works is needed to replace life expired assets.

The costs of routine would be factored into annual costs but overall it's a pretty viable route because the subsidy per passenger is probably only 3-5 euro at most. Pretty good value for money.

IE do charge maintenance costs to individal routes but manpower is much more difficult to distribute.

The cost associated with intercity routes will be much higher because the infrastructure is much older and gets wore down much more by trains at higher speeds.

There's only 2 railways from Spain to France, and the one I'm familiar with has about 5 goods trains each way per day. Even at 100 carriages per train, which is a very high estimate, thats only 500 truckloads. There's more than one truck per minute on the A9, 6 days a week, and not many trains on Sundays either.

The closeby A9 was recently widened to 3 lanes to take the trucks and the a63 got upgraded also.
