Would be great to see in theatres, cinemas, restaurants, stadiums etc etc @dccbeta.bsky.social @dubcitycouncil.bsky.social @dublincycling.bsky.social @ibike.ie @dublincommuters.bsky.social

Recently, @marcocathasaigh.bsky.social spoke to Raidió na Gaeltachta about the need for better rail services in Waterford and Wexford and for connectivity, via rail, between both. Éist anseo: www.rte.ie/radio/rnag/c...

The arrival of the new bicycle carriages across the Irish Rail fleet has definitely improved opportunities for multi-modal travel recently, but this is just 😍 A great way to encourage an active solution to that last kilometre of travel getting to and from the train!

Happy Christmas to all our followers! We hope you have some nice time off... before we get set for a big year in 2026! 🎁 🎄 🚆

We’re front page news locally this morning. You can read the full story here or in print: independent.ie/regionals/we...

Fair dues Eoghan and SEOT what irritates me just ad much is that the Edwardian engineering masterpiece of the Barrow Railway viaduct rusts into the river

There are fears that plans to reopen the Wexford to Waterford rail line have been scrapped after the details didn't appear in a new government funding plan. Campaigners say it 'erases overnight' previous lengthy efforts to reopen the line. www.thejournal.ie/rail-review-...

Good coverage on the apparent cancellation of future work on Wexford-Waterford line by @thejournal.ie this morning. We urgently need some clarity from the Department of Transport and the Minister. www.thejournal.ie/rail-review-...

This is such a backwards move The line was open to passengers as recently as September 2010 and still sees regular service trains across the line The repairs to the Barrow Bridge won't come out of the public purse Government willfully ignoring the #ClimateEmergency #Wexford #Waterford

SOUTH EAST ON TRACK CALLS ON GOVERNMENT NOT TO FORGET SOUTH-WEXFORD-WATERFORD RAIL LINE We condemn the apparent gov. decision to cancel the Wexford-Waterford rail line reopening & are calling for prioritisation of sustainable transport in our region to address congestion & improve housing options.

This is it. A new line to Donegal is very long term. Leaving it in while removing things like reopening an intact line between two urban centres that closed 15 years ago is a choice.

They've done it again, they've cut more rail projects. The most criminal one for me is cancelling the reopening of the Waterford-Wexford/Rosslare line. On the left is the All-island Rail Review published by the last government and on the right is the plan published today.

Really disappointing. Really shows a lack of political ambition in the South East and for rail infrastructure generally. As @feljin.ie points out, they’ve decided to put regional development on the back foot despite the feasibility of reopening the Waterford-Wexford line (which still exists).

Coverage here in the Waterford News & Star on the implications of the NDP for the South East: www.waterford-news.ie/news/concern...

There's no funding to reopen the Waterford-Wexford/Rosslare. The All-Island Rail Review recommended reopening this. It's only been closed since 2010 and is being maintained. Would have been huge for regional development.

South East Being Left Behind in National Development Plan We’re disappointed that the re-opening of the Wexford-Waterford rail line has not been included in today’s published NDP.

We really need some sensible thinking from our representatives and Irish Rail to improve services south of Greystones.

Leap Card should be extended to railway journeys outside major cities! It’s less for a journey between Greystones and Howth (35km w/1 hr duration)than btw Wexford and Enniscorthy (20 kms, w/22min duration) Why not encourage modal shift outside of the cities? #Wexford #Enniscorthy #Gorey #Arklow

Dept of Transport won't fund capacity study for Rosslare-Dublin rail despite population growth. Double tracking, dynamic loops & extra platform could help without costly Bray Head tunnel. Thanks to TDs @rodericogorman.bsky.social, Whitmore & Lawlor for support. NTA response attached. Plans due 2026:

Choo choo 🚆🚆

#Wexford quay, with the train driving right beside you

Something we’ve been advocating for is an earlier train serving #Wexford from #Dublin. The first train of the day lands in Wexford Town and Rosslare Strand/Harbour after 12noon, which rules out using the train for business and leisure activities in the morning.

From today, the late evening departure from Wexford (9:35pm) and Enniscorthy (9:59pm) heading north no longer requires a change of trains at Gorey for those who wish to travel to Wicklow and Dublin. It's a minor change that will make your journey that little bit easier.

🚨 Additional trains confirmed for the Fleadh 🚨 (Wouldn’t it be great to get these for the other 51 weeks of the year?!) There are still some cheaper €9.99 fares available across these services! Come to #Wexford, enjoy the #Fleadh and leave the car at home #Fleadh2025 #PublicTransport #Rail

This is concerning re: additional trains for the Fleadh. This year, so far...instead of having the 50 additional services we got last year, there are 0. The only "additional service" listed is just a slight reschedule of an existing service by 10mins. Hopefully they're just late releasing info...

PRESS RELEASE: July 25 2025 Re: Additional Rail Services for Fleadh Cheoil na h-Éireann We are calling on Iarnród Éireann to confirm additional services. We are concerned that there has been no timetable released. #wexford #fleadh #feadh25

A report published this week shows there has been no GDP growth in the South East in 5 years -during this time the national economy grew by 40% The government needs to invest in infrastructure such as the South Wexford rail line to drive growth across the region www.waterford-news.ie/news/south-e...

NEW VIDEO! We traversed the East coast of Ireland by train! Including some of the DART, as well as the Rosslare Line! youtu.be/kj1tNJcWXP8

One of our members has just experienced a 45minute wait at #Wicklow due to a delay on the southbound train. Aging commuter style 29000s and single track infrastructure contributes to knock-on delays to services in both directions between #Dublin and #Wexford. Time for improvement!

Not all bad news as extension of DART to Drogheda and Kildare will free up 22000 and 29000 sets which will allow for increased frequency south of Greystones long before 2029 or 2030 #Wicklow #Wexford

This positive news should also be a boon outside Dublin as 22000 and 29000 train sets become available They will be used to increase frequency on commuter and inter-city services, including those to #Wexford #Waterford #Kilkenny #Carlow and #Wicklow www.irishtimes.com/transport/20...

Re-open the South Wexford and open up the entire south coast for opportunities like this. #wexford #waterford

Ok then stop publishing hit pieces about MetroLink every week

You can’t beat the view up the East coast on a sunny evening. One of the nicest train journeys on the island. #Wexford #Dublin

€456m for 10km of motorway - but the new government has yet to announce any rail projects which are vastly cheaper on a per km cost basis www.irishexaminer.com/news/munster...

Jonathan Beaumont & Barry Carse's 'Rails through Wexford' is a photographic journey across the 2 scenic routes in the south of the county, which once upon a time connected Waterford city with Wexford town and further afield. colourpointbooks.com/product/rail... #railwayphotography #Wexford

Here we see the UK, despite its financial problems, delivering on hourly rail in rural areas. Meanwhile in Ireland we’re still waiting for even a hint of when the rail review might be implemented #southwexford bbc.com/news/article...

The line between Bray and Dalkey has re-opened. Delays to Rosslare services expected while services come back online.

Bus transfers currently in place for Rosslare services.

Services are currently suspended between Dalkey and Bray until further notice due to vandalism to overhead lines Northbound. Expect delays to services operating Connolly-Rosslare this morning.

Great to see Iarnród Eireann continuing to maintain the Wexford to Waterford line this week - photos available at the link: www.facebook.com/groups/17195...

Colm McCarthy has been proven wrong about rail in Ireland again and again and again. He was against the DART, he was against the Luas. He has opposed every successful piece of public infrastructure we have - but he STILL gets a platform to spout his contrarian nonsense.

A reminder that the Dublin-Rosslare rail journey takes as long now as it did in 1983! There have been improvements south of Bray, but the Connolly to Bray section has become congested in the last 40 years. We'll be calling on the new government to invest in infrastructure to improve journey times.

A reminder that our first meeting of 2025 is taking place tonight online. If you’re interested in improving rail infrastructure in the South East come along and chat to us. Info below:

The signage at the Wexford-Dublin stations was updated before Christmas. It looks sharp…however some eagle eyed passengers informed us that there’s a blast from the past (or future?) included @irishrail.bsky.social? Hopefully a sign of things to come for #Wexford #Waterford?

We'll be having our first meeting of 2025 on Wednesday January 22 at 8pm via Google Meet. Come along an join in if you'd like to help with improving rail services in the South East. With a new government forming, there's a lot of work to do. URL on the image or please DM/email for direct link:

1/6: A THREAD based on one we posted on *the other site* a while back: It's often argued we don't have the population for regional rail in Ireland. As a comparison, let's look at another European country and how they approach this: We're looking at the RB73 run by Hanseatische Eisenbahn in Germany.

Quick reminder that when Michael O'Leary complains about rail services being subsidised - the since 2003, the EU subsidises airlines by exempting all jet fuel from taxation.

Yesterday, a passenger was told the toilet on one of the #Wexford-Dublin train carriages was closed because it had overflowed. 24 hours later, I can confirm that it is still out of service If ever there was a visual metaphor for how Iarnród Éireann treat the Rosslare line... @seontrack.bsky.social

78 people participated in the community train outing from Cloughjordan to Limerick on Ice today ! 27 adults 19 teens and 32 children. Thanks to @irishrail.bsky.social for putting on an extra large train for our evening return trip. Great celebration of #Community and #RailTravel .
