Hi

I read a small article in The Star on Saturday about Irish Rail applying for speed increases on Intercity services in the autumn e.g. from current 160kph to 200kph.

So theoretically Dublin-Cork could be done in 1.5 hrs.

Trying to find a link to the article.

Anyone on here know of such plans ? Would be good if it does happen. Compete with motorways. Possibly open up more commute options.
