    will the continunity military vehicle gang be there as well

    or will it only be the real military vehicle gang
    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
    The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
    The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
    The best lack all conviction, while the worst
    Are full of passionate intensity.

      Just noticed a photo of the Humber Pig in RUC Admiralty grey with Military number plate.

      Was this the one doing the rounds in Derry during 69??.

                  Nice one.

                  Question for the Natives, with the improvement in the railways, is it possible to get a train to Newbridge again? I remember there used to be a stop at the Curragh years ago.
                  Driving there and back just isn't practical.

                    Well if you where to drive it would take just under two hours each way , I make it from Celbridge to Ringaskiddy in 2hours and 40 min , my best time yet . If you where to take the train get off at Portlaoise and then on to the commuter service to Newbridge .

                      Inter City trains only intermittently stop at Newbridge now, all stop in Kildare town,
                      due to the Arrow Service operating between Heuston Stn and Kildare Town
                      (Newbridge being one of the stops on this service)

                      Trains only stop at the Curragh (a platform at the side of the track) for the big race days

                        Just looked at the time table and it appears that there is no Cork trains stopping at Kildare on Sundays, Mon to Sat only .
