    Not sure where it connects with the Wexford line, somewhere below Enniscorthy obviously. Be cool to join up.

    if you log into Landdirect website as a guest and zoom in close to Bree you can see the old rail line land parcels from there to New Ross. I wonder how much encroachment has taken place along the line by the adjacent landowners?

    CIE would have done their best to sell off whatever land they could along the route from Macmine Junction to New Ross so encroachment doesn't come into it. Some of the old alignment is now part of the N30 Road.

    Can see it on that map. Seems to be largely gone on maps bar a short overgrown line from Kings Island below Enniscorthy.

    Well on Landdirect large tranches of the old rail bed remains unregistered which to me suggests that it is still in the ownership of CIE. In my experience CIE are extremely reticent to sell off rail bed.

    On some lines CIE practically threw trackbed away at the adjacent landowners for token fees.

    That maybe the case on other lines but on this particular line very few parcels of the track seemed to have changed hands.

    The absolute opposite is the case, and the only reason that any trackbeds around the country such as in County Leitrim are still partially owned by CIE is because nobody wanted the very marginal land.

    Wait until someone says "proposed greenway" and all these so called landowners will come out of the woodwork looking for big handouts, or objecting because anti social behaviour or because someone will be looking at my house threatening to rob it or run off with my sheep/cows/children.

    Would really like to see a greenway on this route. Thing is, a lot of the trackbed is gone now. Also, where exactly would it go to?

    Macmine towards Adamstown and onto Palace East junction . From there towards New Ross to connect up with the tunnel at Mount Garret on the proposed New Ross through county Kilkenny to Waterford Greenway, or else from Palace East to Ballywilliam, on to county Carlow above Poulmounty and thence to Borris and Bagenalstown.
