Thursday 20th October 2011 "Modernisation of Irish Rail : 1997 -
2011"
Oliver Doyle, former Operations Schemes Development Manager, Irish
Rail Oliver reflects on the almost total reconstruction of the Irish
Rail network following the Knockcroghery derailment in 1997. His
paper covers the transformation of the railway system from mixed
operation to a predominantly high frequency passenger operation,
from loco- hauled trains to push-pull and multiple unit, supported
by extensive track renewals and track layout changes, new signalling
systems, and upgrading of stations and passenger facilities.
And the Irish wonder why their economy is bankrupt?
I wonder how much was paid for by the EU?
