Tracing the Clones-Enniskillen railway line on Google satellite and street view

Most of the old railway route from Clones to Enniskillen remains intact. Running a reopened line through some villages presents a challenge, but it would not be impossible to get some sort of rail route through those places. Enniskillen itself presents perhaps the biggest challenge, but again it would not be impossible to get the line reopened reasonably close to its original route so that the station could be reopened close to the town centre and trains could pass through to Omagh.
This would go a long way to restoring railway services in a part of the country that has been deprived of them for too long.

Reopening the railway line would bring back trains stop 1) Pollution, 2) Car Accidents/Road Deaths & 3) Traffic Jams.

Lisbellaw does have a bypass. It opened in 1968 and is still in operation as the A4.

The Lidl in Enniskillen has a dedication to the former station site in the carpark..

Love these videos great insight into the surviving infrastructure and the potential to reopen these lines !

Re Enniskillen station, I wonder would it have been where the loading area for Dunnes is now?

[@HgordoX]

Are you trying to hint at Translink, to tell them to open the Fermanagh/Omagh railways again??

[@eamonnca1]

Yes. Examining the physical possibility of it, and hoping to inspire railway advocates to campaign for it.

[@HgordoX]

@@eamonnca1 yes because I know a man who took the last train from Belfast to lisnaskea, I would love to use a train instead of a bus or car for a change :/

[@HgordoX]

If you look at rice motors in lisnaskea you will see a train station, like building

[@HgordoX]

There is also a bridge beside rice motors that you will get a good look at it, in sure haven't been on that bridge in a while

[@eamonnca1]

Is that on the line to Bundoran? I plan to do that one next

[@HgordoX]

@@eamonnca1 the bridge is in lisnaskea beside where the station used to be

[@HgordoX]

I'm pretty sure rice motors opposite Lidl is part of the old train station
