South East on Track
Campaigning for better rail transport in the South East of Ireland.
- Many rail users in the south-east travel to and from train stations using both bike share schemes & their own bikes. Government should be encouraging people to travel using public transport and active travel as opposed to discouraging them doing so with unscientific, knee-jerk legislation.
- Today we wrote to Minister O'Brien outlining our opposition to the mandatory helmet and hi-vis proposals. We'd encourage our members to email their local TDs to outline their views. @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social have outlined the research below: www.irishcyclingcampaign.ie/why-mandator...
- Dublin to Rosslare line is reopening between Greystones and Wicklow following clearance of extensive debris on the line. Full services expected for today.
- Adjustments to scheduled services Connolly-Rosslare this eve due to flooding along the line. 16:28 & 17:28 will amalgamate and serve as a bus transfer to Wicklow & train from Wicklow to Rosslare. 18:28 Connolly to Wexford & 20:08 Connolly to Gorey will be a bus transfer for the full journey.
- We've all been at a station waiting for a cancelled train with no way of knowing. IÉ and the NTA can and must do better
- Ourselves, @dublincommuters.bsky.social, @galwaycommuters.bsky.social, & Cork Commuter Coalition wrote to Iarnród Éireann & the NTA today, asking them to cease posting real-time service updates exclusively on X. This vital info should be widely available. Read below: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

- Want to send us an email and we'll update?
- Waterford (population 60,079) & Wexford (pop. 21,524) can easily sustain a rail service between them. In Scotland there are 8 daily trains between Fort William (pop. 15,757) and Mallaig (pop. 701). The South East has the existing infrastructure to deliver a top class rail network.

- It’s in the rail review but not in the short term strategy - we’re working to have it revised and included. IE still run maintenance trains across the line regularly each year
