My understanding is that track condition north of Nenagh is poor since it didn't get the same works as done south of Nenagh. Find the money to do that... but then the numbers on the line costs go nuts - like when they CWR'ed the South Wexford.

mile by there are gradually relaying the line bally/nenagh section , 3 miles already down ! and another just south of nenagh is being currently relayed.....progress is unstoppable!! |

Maybe more people will use the service starting Monday but in another year or two this issue will only arise again. |
Tippites should hope that the relaid line north of Nenagh doesn't have to wait an inordinate time to be stressed like the southern bit, or IE don't suddenly slap TSRs on bridges on the section just when the rails have been cleared for higher speeds...

the north tipperary line has been deprived for decades of a decent timetable ,closure of goods in 2002 (roscrea & nenagh)track conditions gradually deteriorate over many years being left with long sections of 25mph and 30mph running and stations being left with paint flaking off the buildings ,uncorfortable conditions and the need to change at ballybrophy the whole , being left with long connection peroids ,and finally the people of the towns and villages and their surrounding areas in north tipperary have been given decent service across their line , and the choice is theres "USE IT OR LOSE IT" locals are delighted with their new service ,hopefully this will reflect in patronage , in the coming months ....

IE gets no money for rail freight. They have no mandate to use passenger subsidy or fares to haul freight. That's the reality.

This is North Tipperary though Mark anything is possible. Casinos in fields, Cycle tracks. Unprofitable train services. Yet they can't roll out bus services in Thurles or Templemore or have a much needed rail connection to the towns of Tipperary, Cahir, Clonmel and Carrick .
