Only three people boarded trains in Carrick-on-Suir

A Tipperary town has retained its record as having the least-used train station on the country’s rail network.

Carrick-on-Suir has again emerged as the railway station with the fewest number of passengers in the latest annual rail census conducted by the National Transport Authority (NTA).

Only three passengers boarded trains at the station in the town, which has a population of around 5,700, on the day of the survey, carried out in November 2016.
