The costs are considerably more
The train needs a guard, all the signalmen and gate keepers need to be paid for an hour more and someone once a week has to lug the signaling staffs from Ballybrophy to Roscrea. Someone extra in Ballybrophy to work the branch release
If you took 600 and multiplied by the number of trains a day on the Nenagh line you only get 1.4 or so million, but the line is losing over 2 million pa
