=====================================
GENERAL TRANSPORT AND TRAFFIC DISCUSSIONS
=====================================
Commuting & Transport @ Boards.ie
A wide-ranging discussion forum where members of the public discuss issues around public transport, commuting, and the road network. The board lacks the specialist knowledge of the likes of Garaiste or Platform 11, but it's a really useful place to go if you want to see how members of the general travelling public view the issues. To post you'll need to join Boards.ie
Platform 11
A rail advocacy group, with some strongly held opinions on current developments
Busrage
As the name implies, a platform for "venting", run by an Irish expat in the US. Some quite good discussions, however as there is no registration required to post, there can be some instances of spam, and also people may not be who they seem.
=====================================
ENTHUSIAST FORUMS
=====================================
Irish Railway News
This is THE site for the serious rail enthusiast, you'll have to know spad from your bogie though, or you'll quickly get lost.
Kells Transport Museum
The Message Board of KTM, keep track of what is going on in the ever-expanding Cork collection. Always interesting.
Irish Buses @ Smartgroups.com
A serious enthusiast-orientated list, for fleet news/observations only (RoI). You'll have to join Smartgroups AND apply for moderator approval before you can read the list.
=====================================
WIDER IRISH TOPICS
=====================================
Archiseek.
Brilliant discussion forum covering everything that built, being built, or planned in Ireland. Transport issues are often discussed as well.
