| | | Railways (in Limbo)In Ireland, the State owned railway company, Irish Rail, specialise in closing railway lines by stealth - i.e., ceasing all services, not maintaining track and tarmacading over level crossings, rather than formally abandon the lines, which might give rise to criticism. These lines are "in limbo" - neither open nor closed. |
