Title: The Velorail Project
Post by: bradshaw on December 04, 2024, 21:06:18
Came across this on social media this morning.

Just over 13 kilometres of the line in total, about 6.5 kilometres either side of Kiltimagh Station is being used by Velorail. Using cycles adapted for rail.

This project was recognised at yesterday's National Railway Heritage Awards.  The first Velorail in Ireland evidently.
