I think I've detected a bit of a pattern with Irish Rail
  • Millions spent replacing rolling stock where the biggest new feature is power sockets. Power sockets don't work most of time
  • Millions spent resignalling the Sligo line. No improvement in running times
  • Millions spent putting in 4 tracks to Kildare. No overtaking

Could it perhaps be that Irish Rail is a little bit inefficient? Perhaps we could just buy Dick Fearn & Co a nice shiny Thomas the Tank Engine train set and let some people who care more about customers that projects get on with running the network.
