When: 23 May 2024, 18:00 - 19:00Where: Zoom WebinarSpeaker: Joe Kelly of the Velorail team.Across much of Europe from France to Norway, disused railways have been converted to velorails where customers can pedal their way in rail-mounted vehicles to enjoy the passing countryside. This had never happened in Britain or Ireland until the Mayo community of Kiltimagh took the initiative. Their railway which once liked Claremorris with Sligo had been closed to passengers in 1963 and to all traffic in 1975, but unusually the mothballed rails remained intact, and in the face of opposition from people who wanted them lifted to make way for a conventional trail or road the promoters were able to gain permission from Irish Rail to use the section of track stretching 9 km either side of Kiltimagh. Much work had to be done in clearing and repairing the track, perfecting the road crossings and the station area. Funding was from public funds from the Department of Rural and Community Development through Mayo County Council and through the LEADER programme via Mayo LAG and South West Mayo Development Company CLG matched with support from project partners Mayo County Council and IRD Kiltimagh CLG. The velorail opened in June 2023 with 4 and 5-seater vehicles, and offers an experience unique in these islands which promotes active travel while preserving the integrity of the route.Booking for Members-FREETo book scroll to the bottom of this page, tick the T & C's box and click Book on event, if you have any difficulties email us at regions@ciltuk.org.uk quoting event code: SR0545 with your Full name, title and company and we will book your place for you.Booking for Non Members - £5.00 inc.
