Average number of passengers who travel per DART service is of the order of 400. 65,000 per day, 154 services per day. Seating capacity per 6 coach set 384.

Nenagh carries in a week little more than what a single average DART service carries.

Those are the hard facts, Nenagh is in serious trouble simply because the population density isn't there and the arrival of the M7 has made rail in any format uncompetitive, the location of Limerick station doesn't help

Athenry Galway is the opposite, chronic traffic congestion and roundabout hell, but a centrally located station and very quick rail journey
