Looks great. Looks to be mostly complete with some bit needing a bit of work. The contractors are slow on this one though, they are years late.

Great shots but it's just one long straight stretch threw fields nothing much to see🤦🤦😢 a railway would have been fantastic and a huge boost for youghal

@dronehawk Ай бұрын

True , its one very long straight stretch with no scenery , too long for walkers . Will only be utilised by people on bikes

Parts of railway line not greenway should reopen to trains to stop Pollution, Car Accidents, Road Deaths & Traffic Jams.

A railway would be better

What a waste of a perfectly good commuter railway alignment :(

Absolute joke that there wasn’t the political will to reinstate a railway. Also I can’t believe it’s taken so long to bring it to completion…the people of east cork deserve good public transport. Traffic in Castlemartyr and Killeagh is a joke…

A train line wouldn't put a dent in this traffic. The N24 is going to be upgraded so traffic from Waterford will have a better alternative to the N25

Very depressing. A missed opportunity on a massive scale and one that will be rued by future generations.

@bradwhite5884 Ай бұрын

Agreed, a waste of good rail service just like the rest of these greenways tbh, the government are too lazy to make a good and decent railway network tbh, also need to service more trains and such tbh

Never enough demand to justify heavy rail

@mlc4495 Ай бұрын

@@jankford There's not enough demand because the quality of the services were poor. Poor services > low passenger demand > curtailed services > lower passenger demand > eventual line closure.

Rail line was abandoned 40 years ago. Last regular passenger service was 60 years ago. All surveys showed there was no demand for a rail line. Most of the N25 traffic is coming much further from youghal. Midleton to Cork line has barely a dozen passengers most times and the railway car parks are usually half empty. A rail line would only serve people who live and work within a very small radius of a train station, and theres not many of those. Population density in Mogeely and Killeagh is very low. It's even a 20 min walk from the centre of Youghal to the youghal train station. Most N25 traffic at Cork is through Jack Lynch tunnel so these people won't be getting the train anyways.

@@mlc4495I think the huge increase in car ownership had a massive impact also.

I'm not opposed to greenways but using mothballed rail lines is a terrible idea. We wouldn't have had the Luas or the Foynes reopening had those track alignments not been kept in stasis for future use.

BTW, I don't see anything "green" about 15 miles of tarmac ripping up the countryside.
