if you're playing that game they're
great game we all play in Britain which
is can you find station names and
numbers in there's like seven sisters
and nine yeah they're well-known regular
pub game it's like seven sisters and
nine hours you can get from 1 to 10
using British railway stations
apart from six there's no word six in
any British Rama says you have to come
to Ireland and use six much anyway the
area that we're going through now we're
2l it it's fairly flat low-lying it's
fairly boggy and if we'd have done this
this time last year as we almost did we
almost did this 2018 this would have
been a replacement bus service because
the track was literally below
around these parts and they've repaired
it
we're approaching Ennis
there may be somebody waiting for us

wonderful Tim and grace have brought on
some lyrics to a song called are you

West Clare railway which notoriously was
quite badly maintained trains are often
delayed and so the very famous Irish
composer Percy French wrote a song about
it
across the Atlantic and see but you

age you'll be there when the cupcakes
are warning
[Music]

couldn't say for certain you might know
in your message me said you feel very
lucky to have the railway is it do you
use it a lot is it used a lot by by
people in illness for a while is just
checking for closure because it wasn't
making money but enough to students now
use it for the University in Limerick
carvalho indeed for commuting
we have serves to Dublin a couple of
times a day to go away and returns and
in a little sort of western town like
Ennis to have that we just think it's
fantastic
[Music]
and that's how to do in it thank you to
go away with a few shots of stations in
between
it's gone
[Music]
whereas and right where we've got a
couple of minutes because trains come in
and it reverses and goes back out to go
away that way

under Midland train one day with our
friend Sarah when we met we wanted to do
the same here in Ireland and I'm
delighted to say they let me get this
right
beer crap yes now you're a student here
in Galway yes that what college at
gourmet oh2 technology and what are you
studying I was studying mechanical
engineering right and there's part of
your degree part of your project you've
invented something which is quite
amazing and pertinent to transport
accessibility yes what is that it is a
wheelchair ramp built into the Train and
basically the user just comes up to the
Train press the button and then the ramp
of the boy on the train at the moment
you have to walk looking advanced how
does it work yeah the book at least 24
hours in advance and this gifts come his
time to deploy a member of staff to
Bitsey deployed a manual man what a
person to track the void is to make the
user feel independent like any of the
passenger okay so you've designed this
are you actually submitting it to Irish
rail are you saying hey guys will you
consider my idea what do you have to
happen
I would like to yeah I agree like to see
it happen we fantastic see my design
they're watching me region ask them I've
got a design for you okay so I gotta go

just about to say I await the return of
Nikki have you explored I just saw a
poster on the wall here it is I'll give
you the camera this is specifically for
Houston roots but it talks about the
reliability punctuality and reliability
we should there's a lot of these posters
around the network and I can't confirm
I'll just doing the math just now how do
you define punctuality I think within
five or ten minutes is reasonably seen
as on time anything over terminus is
definitely late hours rally for watching
we've taken 31 train so far 30 of them
have been on time one that limo junction
was delayed I think that's a 96%
you know punctuality which is good right
Thank You Terrance round see we get on
the train
