Title: Brexit - effect on railways Post by: grahame on March 07, 2019, 07:14:14 From The Belfast Telegraph (https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/brexit-fears-mean-historic-train-car-moved-over-irish-border-early-37887175.html)
Quote Brexit fears have led to a heritage railway carriage being brought across the border sooner than expected. With continued uncertainty over what will happen after March 29, the Downpatrick & County Down Railway rushed to get the carriage across the frontier this week. Railway chairman Robert Gardiner said: "We worked flat out to ensure we brought the vehicle to Downpatrick before the Brexit deadline. We didn't particularly like the idea of smuggling a railway carriage across the border." The story brings a wry smile ... wondered whether to post in "Lighter Side" but there is a very serious worry here.
