Greenlane in Donegal - Disused Railway

Some footage from our recent trip to Donegal. Stumbled across a disused railway line which gave us a spectacular drive with incredible scenery..ended up driving it twice! Video doesn't do it justice

The reopening of the Western Rail Corridor would bring a new life to trains in Donegal and bordering counties to cut down on 1) Traffic Jams, 2) Car Accidents/Road Deaths & 3) Pollution.

Keep done gal wild, I'd hate to see it turn into yet another tourist trap full of pollution and people. There's something beautiful about the isolation

[@martinwalsh3228]

A new government will need to help out for it we need the money.

Man class video I use to live in donegal originally love that sort of stuff where is the entrance etc. thanks

[@j.e.7028]

Thank you so much...amazing

[@DieselDudeOffRoad]

Excellent video.

[@fu3i]

BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@lairdoharray]

Thanks very much. This is amazing! The scenery must have been fantastic on this journey although in the days of the Swilly no-one was into tourist trains. Certainly you got plenty of time to admire it, although the long journey times were largely due to faffing around at stations. Anybody got a spare million or three to restore a bit of the line?

[@buckymoto1784]

Do you have a GPX of this route or a start & finish as I live on the North Coast of NI. I am. Always trying to find good green lanes for my motorbike.

[@rosemarybleackley208]

Should be reopened as a tourist attraction.

[@user-ol3wk2ds9m]

God no

[@flipper2392]

I'm a regular visitor to this area, some locals welcome and encourage tourists, and others most certainly don't.

[@Squareheed]

No, reopen it as a literal railway line for locals

[@weejohnnybigmickey]
