@Om_Agh @Translink_NI @deptinfra @BarryMcElduff @Ulster_Herald Closing the "Derry Road" railway from Portadown through Dungannon & Strabane to (London)derry was Northern Ireland's last, biggest & most damaging rail closure. With or without Brexit, reopening the line would be one of the best things @deptinfra could do for the border counties.
