We don’t often associate the island of Ireland with world-beating public transport technologies. However, we can boast of some important milestones in the development of railways.
Iarnród Éireann now operates just 1,944km and Northern Ireland Railways another 357km. The high cost of coal during the second World War, alongside the decision by the government of Northern Ireland to unilaterally close most of their lines in 1957, meant that the cross-Border railways linking Belfast, Derry, Letterkenny, Monaghan and Castleblayney all became uneconomic and were closed. Today, the island of Ireland’s rail network is centred on Dublin and, to a lesser extent, Belfast.
According to Arup, the carbon footprint of a passenger rail journey could be as much as 80 per cent lower than an equivalent journey by an electric vehicle
