Heavy Rail services in Ireland (InterCity, Commuter and Freight) are provided by Iarnród Éireann in the Republic of Ireland and by Northern Ireland Railways in Northern Ireland. Most routes in the Republic of Ireland radiate from Dublin. Northern Ireland has suburban routes from Belfast and two main InterCity lines, to Derry and cross-border to Dublin. The accompanying map of the current railway network shows lines that are (a) fully operational (B) carrying freight only traffic (C) which have been "mothballed" (i.e. closed to traffic but potentially easily re-openable). Some airports are indicated but none is rail-connected although Kerry Airport and Belfast City Airport are within walking distance of a railway station. Both the City of Derry Airport and Belfast International (Aldergrove) are near railway lines but not connected. Ports are marked, though few remain rail-connected. Larne Harbour is one port still connected. Ireland's only Light Rail service is in Dublin and called Luas. No Metro lines currently exist in Ireland but a Dublin Metro is planned. ==History== (詳細はウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rail transport in Ireland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
