Rarely I agree with Ryan but this is a great idea. If they can electrify the rail network too would be a great green incentive to transport.
He wouldnāt last five minutes there
Re-opening the 40km line, closed in 2002, would cost ā¬45 million. The move would cut truck journeys between the city and port by 800 a year, helping to reduce transport emissions.
800 truck journeys a year is not much over 2 a dayā¦

How many trucks is a train?
It was Irish Cement who were using that line, but they pulled the plug in favour of road many years ago.
So does Harry Kane
Over 20 years thatās about two and a half grand per truck. Great value 
Itās a pity the Shannon ends abruptly in Foynes and doesnāt go as far as Limerick. If it did you could build a port of some sort in Limerick city, and thereād be no need for the trucks or the train
The Shannon stops and the Atlantic takes back over, according to the last tourism campaign
Disappointed that @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy tried to deceive the forum when questioned about Ryanās 2.5l diesel van.
I took @The_Selfish_Giants claim that the vehicle ran on biodeisel at face value, however it appears it is only "capable " of running biodeisel and Ryan has been using regular dirty diesel for years.
He needs that car for his special needs son.
Charming of you to attack him.on that
I still am under the belief that itās biodiesel irregardless of your vile attack
Itās capable of running on biodeisel, but biodeisel hasnāt been available for general sale for a number of years.
To hell with his special needs son then?
Charming
I donāt seem to remember you making allowances for people with special needs when you were attacking deisel drivers
My statements are correct. His car runs on biodiesel and he has a large car as itās modified for his special needs son.
If you have an issue with that, spit it out
Iāve no issue with diesel cars.
I only have issues with lies.
You have no issue with ruining your children future?
Iāve no issue with people driving a vehicle that is suitable, practical and affordable for them.
I suppose Iāve been brain washed by the Green Party propaganda from their last stint in power where they said everyone should drive diesel
