Signature project

Test a rule that spots rail towns, and count every kind of mistake

The rule: call a town a rail town if at least a chosen share of its journeys are by train. The answer key: whether Irish Rail's station list names the town. The test: 89 towns of 5,000 or more, with the five cities left aside.

The confusion matrix at a 2 percent threshold
	Town has a station	No station
Rule says rail town	29 correct	1 false alarm
Rule says not	26 missed	33 correct

Three thresholds, and a rule that guesses the same thing every time
Rule	Precision	Recall	Accuracy
At least 1% by train	88.4%	69.1%	75.3%
At least 2% by train	96.7%	52.7%	69.7%
At least 5% by train	100.0%	27.3%	55.1%
Every town has a station	61.8%	100.0%	61.8%

Precision and recall

Precision asks how many of the flagged towns really have a station; recall asks how many of the towns with a station got flagged. Raise the threshold and precision climbs to 100 percent while recall falls to 27.3. One number is bought with the other.

Accuracy flatters

Of the 89 towns, 55 have a station. A rule that simply says yes to every town is right 61.8 percent of the time, which beats the 5 percent rule on accuracy while learning nothing at all. When one answer is common, accuracy rewards guessing it.

The mistakes teach most

At 2 percent the one false alarm is Naas, with 4.0 percent of journeys by train and no station of that name in the list. The misses include county towns such as Tralee and Castlebar, each 0.3 percent, which have a station but where few residents use it for daily journeys.

The answer key was built by a rule too: whole-word name matching, then checked by hand
Town	Matched station	After checking the station's address
Navan	Navan Road Parkway	On the Navan Road, Dublin 15: not Navan
Shannon	Carrick on Shannon	In Co Leitrim: not Shannon
Passage West-Monkstown	Salthill and Monkstown	In Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin: not this Monkstown
Celbridge	Hazelhatch	Found only through the list's alias, Celbridge (Hazelhatch)
Rush	Rush and Lusk	Address on Station Road, Lusk: counted for both towns

Score a rule by its mistakes, not by its accuracy

Every classifier, from a spam filter to a medical test, makes two kinds of error: false alarms and misses. A single accuracy figure hides which is which, and when one answer is far more common than the other it can make a useless rule look good. Report the full confusion matrix, say which error matters more for the job, and choose the threshold with that in mind. Then check the answer key, because the labels a model is scored against are often built by rules of their own.

The learner writes the rule as one line, prediction equals train share at or above a threshold, and a scoring function that fills the four cells of the confusion matrix and computes precision, recall and accuracy. A loop runs the thresholds; one more line scores the rule that always says yes. Building the answer key is its own small program: split each station name and alias into words, look for the town name as whole words, and print every match for a human to check. Three matches failed that check, and a fourth town only appeared once the alias field was included.

Rush and its station

One station, two towns

Rush is flagged correctly by the rule, but deciding that it "has a station" took a judgement.

Named for both

Irish Rail lists a single station, Rush and Lusk, and its station page gives the address as Station Road, Lusk, Co. Dublin, Eircode K45 P825, with sheltered bike parking. The answer key counts it for both towns.

Rush on the rule

With 526 of 7,744 stated journeys by train, 6.79 percent, Rush is flagged as a rail town at every threshold up to 5 percent and correctly matched to a station.

Lusk on the rule

Lusk, sharing the same station, sends 4.9 percent of its journeys by train: flagged at 2 percent, missed at 5. The same station, two towns, two different outcomes at the stricter threshold.

What this page does not claim

It does not rate rail services or say why some towns with a station have few train users. The answer key reflects one reasonable rule plus three hand corrections, and a different rule, such as distance to the nearest station, would change some labels. Irish Rail has no connection with us.

Lessons for Rush learners

Two lessons a week is the usual rhythm, and a teacher leads every minute of each.

Children

The census-night age table counts 1,224 children aged six to twelve in Rush. They start with blocks and games, and soon write rules that sort things and check when the rule was wrong.

Teenagers

Rush has 1,094 residents aged thirteen to eighteen, the stage at which Python, websites, AI projects and data work like this rail-town test usually begin.

Adults

Adults join from any starting point, including none, and the first lesson settles the level.

Census figures are reproduced as the Central Statistics Office published them, and the station list is Irish Rail's own, read with its aliases. The rule, the answer key and the scores were computed on 19 September 2026, and each of the three corrected labels was checked against Irish Rail's station page for its address.

Python Automation Course Data Analysis Course

Coding and AI

Ask an assistant how good the rule is

It may quote an accuracy. Ask it for the whole matrix.

An AI assistant asked to evaluate a rule like this will often report a single accuracy figure, because it is the most familiar score. Here that figure would rank a rule that always says yes above a rule that actually looks at the data, and it would say nothing about whether the errors are false alarms or misses.

The learner who built this test then asks the assistant for the confusion matrix, precision and recall at several thresholds, and a list of the labels it trusted without checking. Those three requests turn a flattering score into an honest evaluation.

Models are easy to build now. Scoring them honestly, labels included, is the skill that matters. The longer argument is in why learning to code is worth starting now.

FAQ

Rush coding class questions

What Rush families usually ask first.

How many people live in Rush?

The Census 2022 small area tables record 10,814 usual residents in Rush, in 3,472 households, and 3,059 of those households have broadband.

What is the data project on this page?

Testing a simple rule that guesses whether a town has a railway station from the share of its journeys made by train, then scoring it against Irish Rail's station list for 89 towns. At a 2 percent threshold it has a precision of 96.7 percent and a recall of 52.7, and a rule that says every town has a station beats the strictest version on accuracy.

Does Rush have a railway station?

Irish Rail lists Rush and Lusk as one station, with its address on Station Road, Lusk, Eircode K45 P825. The project counts it for both towns, which is exactly the kind of judgement an answer key hides.

How do Rush residents get to work?

Of 4,945 working residents in the travel table, 2,605 drive, 622 work mainly at or from home, 430 take the bus, 324 the train and 281 use a van.

When are lessons?

Late afternoons, evenings and weekend slots. Rush lessons are fixed in Irish time; India runs four and a half hours ahead through Irish summer time and five and a half through the winter, and every slot we open has to work on both clocks.

Can adults sign up?

Yes, up to sixty-seven, and beginners are welcome. An adult's free first lesson shows which suits better, a small group at the same level or a teacher one to one.

Will a Rush learner be taught with other Rush learners?

Groups are formed by level rather than town, so classmates may be in Fingal, elsewhere in Ireland or abroad.

Is there a Modern Age Coders classroom in Rush?

No, and we never imply one. Teaching is live over video only, with no premises in Ireland. A learner needs a laptop or desktop, working sound and a steady connection, and the number shown here belongs to India.

What do coding classes in Rush cost?

The first lesson is free. After that a shared place costs USD 100 a month and brings two live lessons a week, about eight monthly, with five to ten learners; one to one on the same schedule is USD 150 a month. Everything is agreed before payment.

How many learners are in a group?

Five to ten, grouped by ability, pace and goal rather than age or address. Where nothing suitable meets at a workable hour, we teach one to one instead.
