Hello friends, I’m researching a story about the Dwarka, a passenger ship that operated between the Gulf, India, and Pakistan until its final voyage in 1982. I’d love to hear from anyone who travelled on it, worked aboard, or remembers seeing it. Thank you
We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Colm McLoughlin. Colm was a truly cherished member of our Irish community and leaves behind an incredible legacy. He will be greatly missed by us all. Deepest sympathies to his family and all at DDF.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
I'm late to this but it is good to see the mayor of Limerick @moranjohna1 raise awareness about the train to Waterford that passes through south Tipperary. It would be great to see follow up from our local politicians to work together on this issue.
On my way to the Southern Regional Assembly meeting in Waterford for today. Apart from first hour in office earlier, the day is « lost » now to attend a two hour meeting because of travel times. I suppose at least in train I can work although table a bit small. This really shows the importance of the enabler below to improve travel times - 2.5 hours by train (2hr2min) to do 125km of a trip each way. ☹️☹️ You could be all the way from Cork to Dublin in 2.5K hours! The latter is not wrong it is just not fair to Waterford and Limerick (or even Galway) to not speed up their connections too. At least the price is right @IrishRail
During the public consultation, boosting services on the Clonmel line came in 14th in the top 50 topics highlighted. @IrishRail said "resources [are] not available for implementation" but it would continue to look at possibilities for implementation. This shows demand is there.
ℹ️ New timetable from Monday 26th August, full details including:
🚆 Extra trains
🚉 Kishoge Station opening
🛑 Additional stops
⌚️ Timetable alterations

It is great to see the positivity and improvements to the Irish rail network. Hopefully some of this can transfer to the Limerick - Tipperary - Waterford line. Let's start with upgrading Clonmel rail station.
