3000 passenger per month is about 10 per train, and even the July-August peak is just 15 per train. And to think they are going to sink more money into a station at Crusheen!
I was on the WRC last month, joining a train a Athenry at about mid-day. There were about 10 people on the train arriving in Athenry and about 6 leaving Athenry. By the time we got to Ennis I think there were 4 of us. From Ennis to Limerick there must have been over 50.
A total vindication of IE's earlier views about the viability of Ennis-Limerick compared with the nonsense project that was Ennis-Athenry.
