They need to reopen all closed railway lines throughout the island of Ireland to cut down on Traffic Jams, Car Accidents/Road Deaths and Pollution of course.

@@MrMansun95 There is also need for 24 hour trains in Summertime & St. Stephen's Day trains.

They need to reopen the line somehow.

Great footage there, do you know if any film exists of the old GNR station in Monaghan town?

[@IrishRailwayRecordSociety]

+jason mc cann Sorry Jason, I don't think so, there is more footage though to be shown of nearby Clones if that is of any interest.

[@jasonmccann9350]

Ok thanks for that..

[@CELTICGUNNER69]

Is there further footage including Baltinglass and Tullow ?

[@IrishRailwayRecordSociety]

Sorry I don't think there is any more material on that line.

[@dennison8]

Was waiting anxiously for a glimpse of tullow... What a pity ☹️

[@eoin730]

do you have any footage of the palace east to bagenalstown branch?

[@IrishRailwayRecordSociety]

The next upload will feature the southern part of that line (New Ross - Macmine), but there is footage of the IRRS railtour on the Bagenalstown - Palace East section, which hopefully will be up soon once edited.
