180 million is crazy money, but you don't know what that is actually for, frequently the numbers quoted are for something quite different to what is expected
180 million is the price for the 21st century, full specification deal with everything included. Basic cheap deal is 40 million, there are 4 stations involved here in fact.
There is a lot more going on here than a second track, its been in the members area for ages

What is proposed though not public would result in Galway having a rail transport service equivalent to what Cork is getting, a very respectable service which is something to be welcomed
