Railway station needs to be reopened on time for Easter in 2025.

Great flight well done

You’re a legend for making the video I’m from Dublin 🇮🇪💙

🦘🤠

Wonderful pictures in a beautiful country cheers Bob.👍👍👍👍🦘🍺

What are those red "hoops" over the track for? Cables?

Truly superb videography again Dronehawk! Many thanks…you’ve excelled again this time…you must have spent many hours editing your video footage. It’s wonderful to see a railway coming to life again. Any idea when they plan to have the line re-opened yet? I’m looking forward to watching your video reports when they seriously begin to re-building the line from Athenry to Tuam and Claremorris. My late relative Bill Mannion….who lived in Tuam….was a great supporter of the railway’s re-opening. I think you’ll soon be videoing the section work being undertaken between Athenry and Claremorris….but I think reopening from Claremorris to Collooney Junction is a long way off yet! Keep up your excellent reports and I wish you many more happy hours of work on our behalf. Thank you so much for your efforts! Rob in Bournemouth, Dorset.

Would anybody know the name of the piece of music that plays in the background of this video? It’s really nice. I have tried Shazam and got numerous results none of which match the music.

I got to love how well work is progressing, and the historic feel of the line is respected as well with keeping as much of the original bridges and underpasses or building new ones with the historic feel. I just hope that they will restore the derelict station building at Foynes and maybe the signal boxes as well although they will not have any use anymore? Perhaps install the modern signalling electronics in the lower floor? Were you not concerned loosing signal when flying trough that tunnel?

Will we get our first LNG terminal on the Shannon eventually? I hope so

Good on you Eire! This what should be happening in the Uk but isn’t at the moment

where is this and im confused. is this main line/branch line or a heritage line as Foynes Railway Project sounds like a heritage line but all at once seems to big for a heritage line

Irish Rail care and maintenance at its finest.

Excellent and informative coverage. I assume the wavey newly laid track will be made dead straight before ballasting.

WOW Its really come on. Though if it was China would have been done 4x over by now 🤪 For rural Ireland though, on the home straight!

At loose end today. Tink il take a spin on my bike an see foynes thanks to this vid❤

What are they going to do with the old station building?

Glad to hear the old station building will get some love. These things bring charm to a place.

Good Morning from the UK, Newcastle upon Tyne. Is the Passenger Station being reopened under the Project? I can see the progress on the rebuild of the Railway, looks like a great idea. Thanks in advance. JohnL.

Shannon bypass and bridge update.....

Thanks!

Great video. Leave text on for a bit longer. Also maybe black letters would make it easier to read. Thanks

Them "energy windmills" are a ecological disaster.

An excellent project to date. Love all the old bridges and the yellow Unimog hauling some new track rails. Like most of your subscribers, I can’t way to see it operational. Well done to all concerned.

You could build at least 2 bike sheds with €32million... Great video, my thoughts are this is a great project but our government wouldnt have done this without EU directive. This is a European top down Ten-t project order to Ireland to complete so the folks building this railway cant build rail elsewhere until this is done. My only doubts are will this rail service see much freight from foynes port when built as we dont see much rail to/from dublin with Rosslare taking no rail freight at all.

Great job on these videos. Production level is really high and the information comes across well.

Excellent report. Any idea of the navigable depth available on low water spring tides? One problem is that the port is on the west and most European countries are on the east.

I don't know about you guys, but I think that that bridge at 4:40 should be demolished if it's no longer accessible to cross over

Good luck guys

WOW that's a serious commitment! Hopefully it will all come true 🤞🏻 starting the motorway soon would be nice 😊

Thanks!

Bring it back the reopening of the railway line cut down on Traffic Jams, Car Accidents/Road Deaths & Pollution.

Parts not greenway should be reopened to trains to cut down on Traffic Jams, Car Accidents/Road Deaths & Pollution.

Huge project, its going to be grand when the railway is up and running, thanks for the update 👍

Synergy of informative text and aerial videography of cinematic legendary status, makes these creations, much anticipated viewing.

Thanks again for keeping us all up to date!

If we could see the rebuild of the railway commence from Athenry to Sligo and onto Derry via Donegal. Then we’d have a great railway from Derry to Limerick.

Great video and well done. It is great to see this railway finally being restored. While visiting Foynes about 15 years ago I located the old line, almost obliterated by vegetation. It was sad to see mature trees growing from between the tracks. By the way what is the title of the accompanying music? It is really nice. Thanks for the video.

Brilliant

I would love to know where this is & what is the story? Australia.

Great work as always. Thanks for the updates. such a lot of effort

Gosh!! I always feel relaxed after watching these videos! Ahhhh…..☺️

Very badly needed.

No to filthy american fracked gas!😢

Earlier I had heard about this old railway bridges, building and tracks come back alive again. This update was really grand. I've been waiting for an update on the progress on the line. Thank you and outstanding work. It is interesting to see that bridges and tracks are being replace, are kept to the way that the founders had laid their railway in the pass, still modern material. How much government regulation are involved? The Lackawanna Cut off is taken about a decade and more to get this passenger line reopen with so much government regulations.

Pleased to be kept up-to-date. In the case for restoration do you know what traffic was expected and the goods to be carried, if sny?

Thanks!

Can't wait to see the train on it way I've worked on the job laying pipes great job great videos from you 😅

I love watching these vids !!

Love watching , thank you !
