      Kent Station about to become the busiest train station outside of Dublin, you’d imagine, if it isn’t already. Blackpool is an easy win, so I’m delighted to see it going first

      > The electric trains will cost around €280m with an order expected to be placed in 2028. Mr Cronin predicted they will enter service in 2030 or 2031

      Fingers crossed; these diesel trains are getting old fast, they’re noisy and the internal layout is far from being good at accommodating the high volume of commuters.

      The new bit here is that they’ve changed their minds again about the stations. They’re going for 2 in the coming weeks, with an intention to start construction before the end of the year.

      That sounds good, but they had promised 3 stations going for planning in 2024. Then they changed their mind and said they’d go for about 5 in 2025, then last year they announced that they’d be doing one big railway order for the whole 8 stations and the electrification etc in late 2026 or early 2027.

      So this is a bit mixed as far as new news goes.
