    And while I,m in a mood for a rant heres some more good ideas that somehow got buried over the years:

    *I seem to remember a viewing platform was mooted for the top of the Shearton...................
    *At one stage a new pedestrian bridge accross the Shannon.........
    *A new pedestrian bridge at the end of Talbot Ave...........
    *Some years ago a viewing platform where the old eelhouse was to have been provided by the ESB
    *The Millenium Fountain(dont get me started)was to have been moved to a more appropiate place.
    *The old station converted to a museum

    And thats just the top of my head.

    Yeah we had talk of such things as..
    A multistorey carpark in the town
    Fast food places next to the Cinema
    Shuttle bus to the cinema
    These usually come up again around election time :rolleyes:

    Direct Ryanair flights Oslo(Torp)(TRP) to Athlone(Abbeyshrule)(ASH).
    Irish Navy submarine base at No.1.

    It must be 20 years ago since a London publican gave me an ambitious plan,
    designed by his head barman, for the Athlone Metro. Typically not a sod has been turned since.
