The 'Dying roads, Vibrant rail' blog is now up and revived. This is a revamped 'Transition Transport' blog so already has a fair amount of content. This new blog will have news from line revival schemes, small and large, standard and narrow gauge, from around the UK and further afield. It will also look at the slow death of roads, historical aspects of transport, Peak Oil, climate change and the economic situation, all of which are interlinked.
Dying roads, vibrant rail can be found here.

An excellent approach. There will only be lasting change when people stick together and co-operate. The road lobby have used the old military tactic of divide and conquer for years.
From an Irish angle, here is a project which will make Blarney Castle accessible by rail again from the main Cork-Dublin Railway:

There used to be the Cork and Muskerry Light Railway. The old station by Blarney Castle is now a tourist shop. The railway used to go into Cork. Traces hardly remain.
On the other hand, here is a crying shame:

Youghal should have been reopened years ago. The amount of traffic from East Cork in the mornings is huge, even with Midleton station open.
