Get on yer ... rail bike? The old railway line through Kiltimagh, Co Mayo, last saw a passenger train in 1963, and before then had been the gateway for numerous people from the town to leave, with many emigrating for good.

Now, thanks to a group of people who wanted to bring some use back to the long-dormant tracks, people will once again leave the town by rail, but using their own muscle power. The Velorail Project, which opened in June, has drawn inspiration from other similar projects in Europe and the US.
