100 trucks per day on roads if trains axed, say beet growers
The company lost more than €7.6m last year on its freight services and Iarnród Eireann says unless the Government provides finance for the service as part of the ongoing Strategic Rail Study review, it could be under threat.
However, if the train service is suspended, it would put 100 extra trucks on the road every day from next week until the beet season ends at Christmas, growers claim.
