    The distances mentioned refer to the specific locations of the sections in question. Railways in Ireland were mapped and marked out in Imperial measurements when they were laid way back when. Along the tracks are mileposts which allow sections of track to be identified by railway staff; e.g. train drivers, tracklayers, civil engineers etc.

    No doubt there will be howls of protest from locals who want their railway back.








    Spoiler, no there won't.

    What effect does abandonment have on any greenway proposals?

    My first thoughts are that if the land is abandoned the local farmers will take it over and the council then may not have any right to put in a greenway?

    The 1950 Transport Act determines that adjacent landowners are first offered a chance to buy the trackbed; a local authority who own or maintain roads crossing the former line get second dibs and failing a purchase at this stage, land can then be sold to the general public. There may be a requirement under the initial act of parliament that authorised the lines construction that states otherwise; this may take precedent but such cases are rare.

    It should be stressed that CIE are under no obligation to dispose of land once they have formally abandoned a railway line. They still hold title on the trackbed that is now the Great Southern Greenway; I gather that the walkway in Navan and Kingscourt will be dealt with under a similar arrangement as well.

    The notice, aside from procedure what's the point? Not as if anyone can object.
