Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the barrow bridge on this line? Ig it is and they close this line, it won't be reopening. This bridge alone would cost more than the entire WRC to reinstate.

The heritage line idea might be worth pursuing. It seems to me that given the level of service on this line at the moment it might as well be closed anyway. So if somebody could make a go of running steam excursions on it in the summer if might bring some tourism into the area.

I suppose that this sort of ideasos a bit creative for the cynical Irish mindset but heritage rail does a roaring trade in the uk and it is only a couple of hours from Rosslare.
