I agree with some comments made to retain the rail link this would be forward thinking if Iarnród Éireann were to promote east Cork as a tourist destination this would ensure the viability of the line both for work and pleasure wake up planners and show some initiative Scribblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00133422844471138397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36499493.post-81936858554625866592016-12-07T20:15:44.994+00:002016-12-07T20:15:44.994+00:00Like most people have said a running/cycling facil...Like most people have said a running/cycling facility would be great but not at the cost of a public transport system. Many of us have sat in traffic on a daily basis & I for one would prefer the train. Irish rail have spent nothing the upkeep. The greenway idea is only being pushed by those in Midleton area who already have a rail connection so would have the best of both worldsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36499493.post-47901075822900989402016-11-25T10:36:42.979+00:002016-11-25T10:36:42.979+00:00Much as a running track would be popular, extendin...Much as a running track would be popular, extending the Midleton line to Mogeely, Killeagh and Youghal should be on the immediate plans for IE. Rush hour into Cork City is very congested so getting more people onto trains should be on the plans for the next 5 years. East Cork is going to expand into the future and cannibalising the rail line is not the way forward.

Probably a bit narrow I guess. If turned into a tarmac track and route left more or less intact (big if I agree) I can't imagine it costing that much extra to turn it back into a railway line if it came to it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36499493.post-23132614944128936622016-11-23T18:13:47.280+00:002016-11-23T18:13:47.280+00:00The Midleton - Youghal line might actually be a vi...The Midleton - Youghal line might actually be a viable service if the numbers using the Midleton - Cork service each morning and evening are anything to go by so making it a greenway would be very short sighted. Then again this is Ireland where short term thinking always trumps long term planning so you never know!
