New platform for Limerick Junction

Railway enthusiasts will be glad to hear that Irish Rail is currently building a new platform at Limerick Junction.

The platform has been mooted for over 20 years and even earlier there was talk about building the platform.

But now it is actually happening, the work is being done, the cement is being poured.

It was badly needed and for many years there have been train delays in and out of Limerick Junction.

Fadó fadó when there was a working signal cabin at the Junction locomotive drivers were always quick to blame the tardiness of the signalman for the delay in giving their train the road.
