In late July Irish Rail celebrated 150 years operations at Birdhill station and the oldest man in the village unveiled a plaque. Beside the station is a small idyllic garden. The station must have the quaintest and finest entrance of any station anywhere. It is a real gem.
Irish Rail say they are offering promotional fares on the line, that is the Limerick Nenagh, Ballybrophy to Dublin line. Yet, if you go on the internet to buy a ticket, it is significantly cheaper to travel from Dublin to Cork or Kerry than it is to Limerick via Birdhill.
Quite likely this line has never in its history made a profit.
Over the last year or so we have become critical of the people who manage our banks and our country. Not a word about our railway managers. Why?
