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:

#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 .

🎄🎅🍬

Merry Christmas to all of our followers. We made more progress this year thanks to your help and effort. We’ve asked Santa for a reopening of the #Wexford to #Waterford rail line and an increase in frequency from #Rosslare to #Dublin. 🎁

Since 2000, the rail network across the country has been expanded - with the #southeast and #Waterford being the big exception. We'll continue to campaign vigorously for infrastructure investment in our region across the lifetime of the next government.

Quick thread [1/5] on the #Limerick to #Waterford rail line. As part of proposed upgrades to the N24 road, a rail study on the corridor was released. This report hit headlines in Munster - stating less than 1% of passengers would shift to a better rail service irishexaminer.com/news/munster...

We're leaving *the other site* so we'll be posting some threads from there: Quick Thread [1/4] This is Broughty Ferry station near Dundee. In 10 years passenger numbers at this station increased nearly 20 fold from 5,000 per anum in 2010 to 90,000+ in 2019. How?????

Early train #Waterford #speirgorm

(The Sail-Rail option should be easier to book I mean).

There has been progress made on the #Wexford #Dublin route in the last 4.5 years. But there's much more to do - hopefully the next government continues the progress that has been made, and ramps it up further. #GE24

Incredibly busy Rosslare service this evening on the 17:28ex Connolly. There is a big demand for this route. We need more services and more appropriate trains. The 29000s leave too many standing for too long @irishrail.bsky.social

The first 12mins of this @drivetime.bsky.social segment considers public transport (including rail) in Wicklow. Maybe it will inform your vote this Friday #GE24 #Wicklow www.rte.ie/radio/radio1...

It’s frustrating that the 17:28 Connolly-Rosslare Europort is delayed by 5mins most evenings waiting for the 17:33 DART to Bray/Greystones to go ahead of us. This is a more direct service & there is time to be saved if we’re not forced to trail behind the DART each evening @irishrail.bsky.social

Less than a week until election day. Many promises have been made, make sure to keep rail transport in the #SouthEast at the top of the #GE24 agenda on the doors.

The deadline is December 4 to provide feedback to @IrishRail on the ECRIPP - the plan to deal with coastal erosion issues on the Rosslare-Dublin line. This is an important project that should secure this rail line for our region for years to come: www.irishrail.ie/en-ie/about-...

We're 1/4 of the way through this century and we have seen *some* investment in new rail in and around our 5 cities. Waterford is however the outlier - instead of rail being added like the other cities, it has been removed. Ask your candidate in #GE24 what they'll do for rail in the #Southeast

In 4 years of campaigning we've lobbied hard on improving our rail services. Here is a list of candidates in #Wexford #WexfordWicklow and #Waterford, their views on rail and what to expect. This is NOT an endorsement - but if rail is important to you as a voter, here is where the candidates stand.

Standing room only leaving Pearse on the 17:28ex Connolly. Many have large luggage. The 29000 class has no end-of-carriage luggage racks so luggage not suitable for storage overhead blocks the walkways. Another symptom of running a commuter train on an almost 3 hour service @irishrail.bsky.social
