Not judging by some of his posts on here.....Cranky has informed me that his time working in Dublin is coming to an end in a few weeks so he has decided to book 1st class on the train this week. He’s very pleased with the silence and wireless phone charging. Although with Cranky being a Norrie he is worried that nobody questioned this and that there wasn’t any sort of background check or literacy test to gain admittance to 1st class. Naturally he would have passed both of course.
That hurtsed Poo, that hurtsed. Cranky is upsetted now.Not judging by some of his posts on here.....
Tell him that his persistent flatulence would be frowned upon in 1st class.Cranky has informed me that his time working in Dublin is coming to an end in a few weeks so he has decided to book 1st class on the train this week.

He’s aware but his snoring seemed to be an issue this morning with some well to do lady from Rochestown. His Norrie accent was apparently totally unintelligible to the poor lady.Tell his that his persistent flatulence would be frowned upon in 1st class.

A big update for the improvements to the Cork Commuter Rail network. Fully electrification of the rail network in Cork.
The works have already started though for a lot of it. Phase 1 is expected to be complete in Q4 2026.But now completion is pushed out to 2040. What's the betting the next major announcement will be for something in 2045. Call me cynical but this has been happening for decades - meanwhile our public transport infrastructure is third world in terms of service.
I was abroad recently and encountered various towns a fraction of the size of Cork with stations far bigger than Kent Station and with multiple rail lines. They don't bother with double-decker busses coming three at a time occasionally, but instead have precisely timed trams, long articulated busses, or a myriad of short but plentiful busses. Our public transport is pitiful by comparison.
The ripping out of tram lines, and subsequently railway lines in Ireland was as short-sighted a decision as there ever was in this state.
The works have already started though for a lot of it. Phase 1 is expected to be complete in Q4 2026.
Construction of phase 2 is expected to take 5 years to complete. It’s expected 5 stations could be built by 2030 pending planning.
No, we haven’t.We've been down this track before Cranky.
No, we haven’t.
