Many years ago I used the WRC going to/from Listowel/Ballinasloe on several occasions. I used it during the steam era as well as diesal. I look forward to using it again when it re-opens.
But - the cost involved can not be justified.
It was a political decision.
What a wast of resources.
That is my opinion and I would love to be proved wrong.
IMHO the number of people who wish to travel between Limerick and Galway including intermediate towns/villages - are being accommodated already by bus and at much less cost compared to train travel.
Time will tell who right.
Nearly forgot to add there is an excellent dual carriageway being built which will allow faster journey times between Liimerick and Galway by bus compared to rail.
