Epic video
Looks like we getting good start of revisiting the past by reopening the railway!
Watching this makes it feel lik you are driving the road already. Thanks for the update.
Wrong information sisk soroseen are the main contractors together the railway bridges being built last few months by John craddock from Kildare different contract
When are the big guns moving in?
What a disgusting waste of good farmland....we are going to rue the day we put all of our eggs into freeways and roads....when we cannot raise enough food for all of us.......makes no sense in this day and age of understanding the future of the planet.....
Do you realise how many thousands of hectares farmers let sit idle because the E.U pays them to do so. There is no shortage of good farmland .
There is nothing but farmland in the country. A 50m strip bypassing Adare is not going to make or break things. Lol.
Fantastic plans but no payment to the property owners affected by the route the Council playing poor mouth
How is that even legal ?
@dronehawk That is under CPO legislation I understand it can take upto 5years extremely unfair this legislation was amended six years ago to delay compensation it is however under review ......don't understand why or what out TD are doing for Fairness to Irish Citizens apart from knocking on doors to get votes as for the IFA there a silent group of hypreticaĺ Goverment lickers complete kinder garden juveniles
Im not some hippy dippy type.....but this seems to be destroying alot of stunning countryside....
If you build motorway it’s going to go through some countryside yeah.
Thanks for the update. Great views, thank you again!
Great having good road infrastructure but look how much land a road takes compared to rail 😮Great update tho 👍🏻
True but there is also the all island rail plan though lots of it is probably pie in the sky. The Adare bypass is really needed though as anyone heading down the motorway will attest since its gridlock through a small town as soon as you get there. It will make a mega difference to people living in Adare too.
Wow sooo cool to see all this!!! Great progress for Cork really!! And love being a subscriber to you!!
Great update video 👏🏻😍 good bit of archaeological dig going on…..🤔 and maybe more to follow could hold up it up somewhat ???
No , they've radar penetrated the whole route at this stage and excavated any thing of potential historical importance .
I love your work, the ability to see these projects from above is amazing, what drone/drones do you use ?
Mainly Mavic Pro 3 and Mavic Air 3. Need to use both in order to use 3 batteries each have to cover long projects like these.
Brother! Ballina new bridge on the river Sannon.....?
Update on that!
Hopefully before end of this month if weather , free time and wife allow
Your documentation of these infrastructure projects is outstanding in terms of visual quality and presentation. I'm not 100% on the music but that is easily rectified by playing my own music during your presentations 😎. Slán agus beannacht.
Its impossible to please all the people all the time with the video music .
Going to be a big project, thank you 👍
Brilliant video and editing work.
Excellent Footage!😃.
It's great to see lines being reopened. A shame I will never get to travel on it (I have cancer), but I look forward to watching the trains on UA-cam. And thank you for a very professional video.
Sorry to hear that . Don't think anyone will get to ride these rails soon being freight only . Do my best to bring footage of the first trains for you to see when it happens
Excellent video as always., well done
Great footage to start the new year on ! Keep up the good work.
Wasn't that clown of a government that rebuilt this, it's local commerce and business,,yet the traitor government will claim all the credit.
Would it not be possible to build a short spur across the river to connect with the Cobh railway line? It seems like such a disadvantage not to have any railway connection with the port
It would require a massive engineering solution to get tracks across an active Shipping Channel.
@@dronehawk Well I'd imagine there would have to be a type of swing bridge that would open and close depending on shipping needs, something like the Barrow rail bridge. Looking at the width of the channel between say Rushbrooke and Monkstown, it doesn't appear to be such an insurmountable task
Thank you. Astonishingly high quality film. And fascinating to follow the route. Any chance that you might be able to do a similar job on the Burma Road from Claremorris up towards Sligo? Before that line too is relaid?. In any event, top marks for this wonderful footage.
I'm hoping to do the WRC line sometime this year , but it's a long way from Cork
Great news! Thank you.
Great update. I am sure they will get the line open this year. All the best for 2025.
I wonder if irish rail will run a passenger train on it when it opens for enthusiasts and such to have a look at it, especially those who were responsible for getting it done Its something i can see them doing and either way i look forward to its completion
Don't see any reason why not on a quiet Sunday
NO
Is it private investment paying for this,also believe only for freight only, surely they should put all the double track back,the only reason I mentioned it is here in Scotland they only laid single track for the"Tweedbank" line and has been a big mistake and using 20/35 DMUs
Its State funded and yes for now it is Freight only , though that could be revisited down the line if you pardon the pun . Putting in double track was never a option as the line was originally single track and hence planning was accelerated due to the fact they were replacing like with like .Secondly the N69 Overpass and 3 single width viaducts would also have prevented double tracking . Third the line traffic will probably not justify a second track and passing loops will suffice
Freight only which pretty much sums up the skill of the Irish government.
Its EU policy to get more freight off the roads
Great quality video as usual, track is looking great, looking forward to completion 👏👏
Great video can hardly wait to see more It's really amazing what Irish Rail has already achieved
SISK deserve the main credit . They are the main contractor overseeing the building of the railway and the three motorway overpasses .
@@dronehawk What's SISIK stand for?
Fantastic, great skill in everything with the production of this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great to see this work! Pity same didn’t happen on Youghal line 🤷🏻♂️
This project will be done in two years , Youghal greenway took 6 , go figure
@@dronehawkpolitical will I’m guessing 🤷🏻♂️Youghal poorly represented by Cllrs
Will there b a passenger service or will it b another white elephant in the west like the limerick to athhenry line...investment in navan line should b a priority 🤔
The passenger numbers on the "white elephant" from Limerick to Athenry are quite impressive.
Good chance that Tara Mines Traffic will use this line for exporting of ore
It’s another useless government project, no passengers.
@@dronehawk Especially with Dublin Port kicking Irish Rail out of the area around Alexandra Road - North Wall is being rebuilt to work around it.
The ‘white elephant’ Limerick-Galway service is now at capacity according to the IÉ chief executive, next steps are platform lengthening and significant increase in capacity. It’s not only the greater Dublin region that needs rail investment. The cost of the Navan line, while clearly required, is seriously questionable and will cause issues in getting approval.
Should Bring Back all the old railway lines throughout ireland take much of the traffic of the road s way less accidents. GREENWAY IS A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY
Ath bhlian Faoi Maise Thu i 2025...agus mile mile maith agat a chara........💯🎊🎇🎊🍾⭐🎈🥳🎉🎆
Happy new year 🥳 Great footage as always and it’s looking 👀 good 👍🏻 Hopefully it’ll be used to its full potential and grow the rail freight sector in Ireland 🇮🇪🤔 Its sad that road haulage is cheap and plentiful 😢 But in time rail will win over I’m sure 🤩🏴
Some waste of money it won't be used
Great project to work on nice to see it coming together great footage 👍
Great way to start the year! Keep it going and thanks
Great job DroneHawk. You deserve a spin on the first freight train to run on the line when its all done.
Would'nt say no to that Paul
When will passengers be able to travel?
Unknown , Its being built as a freight only line , but pressure to provide a passenger service is already growing , so we'll have to wait and see
As always, fantastic footage and great updates .fantastic to see a line that was closed given new life again....hopefully, our new incoming government will continue to reopen the rest of our closed railways 🛤
Very professional production. Thanks for update and for inserting captions identifying landmarks, really helpful for those of us not familiar with the geography of the area. Please do update again if possible in the coming months. Great job!!
It’s always nice to see so much progress with a railway coming back from extinction to a proper railway once again. I’ve noticed that while you’re company is slowly rebuilding the railway, it seems there’s still a lot of obsolete railway equipment still surrounding some of the stations, I hope that you’re going to include that in the railway updates?
I'm not affiliated to Irish Rail or Sisk and not paid by anyone to make these updates , so cant say for sure what plans they have for the stations and other Infrastructure . I'll do my best to keep ye informed as much as I can if time allows.Thanks for watching
Great to see a new update! I live near Ballingrane station and often went to Foynes regatta on the train. Lovely to see it return
Thanks for the update as always!
Your welcome
Brilliant …. . Thanks for update. Any views if the limerick to adare section would be used to transport Ryder cup 2027 attendees. Would be great if RPSI could provide a steam hauled service if financially viable.
@@nigelbarlow3506 I'll try to do the Adare to Limerick section soon but these videos take a huge amount of time to do.
why are the city council not reparing the river bank walls that have fallen into the river, looks soo bad
@@onekeypianoplayer This would be addressed by the OPW, which is not locally elected. Central government funding is required, similar to the flood relief schemes in Bandon and the city centre flood relief project.
Looks like being a great asset to the community, thank you 👍
Any plans to fix the river walls which are all collapsing into the river? I'd have thought that this would be a higher priority than any of the other items covered.
