Hi everyone, I'm not on Facebook so I can't join the save the Rosslare Railway FB group, but I just read this post on boards
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showp...&postcount=430
and am tempted to jump in and make an emailed submission to the NTA about the proposed closure.
I have read that the 25 people who use the railway each day, do so in spite of IEs best efforts. Obviously I wouldn't put such accusations in a submission, but it does lead me to conclude that the whole thing stinks to hell.
Therefore, I'm looking for advice on what sort of submission I should make? How I should word it etc. (bear in mind I'm not personally familiar with the line at all).
A few questions:
- What, at a fundamental level, makes the line worth trying to save?
- How is Irish Rails mal-administration of the line limiting its potential?
- What opportunities and social benefits could a properly run line offer?
- If the line is saved, what (realistically) should happen next?
