We have had some contact with people in Limerick about a significant project to sort out the rail service in the area. Few if any people are interested.

We had outline plans and costings which included several extra stations on the Ennis - Limerick line. The real problem is there are too many stakeholders, Limerick County, Limerick City, Tipp North, Clare

The time to stop at any extra stations can be offset by allowing the trains to travel at higher speeds, most of the Ennis line is still stuck at 50mph, but the trains can do 70-75mph

In performance terms there is not much to choose between a DART and the more powerful commuter trains in Dublin
