Rail service on the right track

YOUR news item (June 10), on the Western Rail Corridor, states that although the Western Rail Corridor had a “creditable year” passenger numbers are “well short” of the anticipated numbers.

I believe this article gives a misleading impression and that a number of issues need to be clarified.

As mentioned in your article, Iarnród Éireann has announced that the opening of the Galway-Limerick route has generated more than a quarter of a million passengers along that route in its first year.
