An unusual sight of a John Deer tractor parked up at Portarlington Train Station, Co.Laois at 11.15pm last night (Saturday 15th June). My thoughts are that either a young lad that still has his learner permit (around 16 or 17) has driven to the train station to go off somewhere on the train or it’s a farmer who went into the pub across the road from the station.
For those who don’t know, there are certain places in Ireland where students from secondary school that have a learners permit for driving a car (or if they are 16, they can drive a tractor only) drive tractors into school from home. There was even a news story about two lads from Co.Cork having to drive their parents tractors from their farm yards into school as there was no room on the school bus for them.
