Rail line doesn’t make business sense

THE letter of Colmán Ó Raghallaigh (June 14) fails to address and furnish explanation for a most concerning point. It is no great mystery that most of the passengers comprising Irish Rail’s figure of 252,607 have travelled between Limerick-Ennis and Galway-Athenry exclusively.

Figures under the Freedom of Information act have demonstrated that just a mere 53,187 passengers have used the “new” section of line between Limerick and Galway.

This is in fact what the references to Ennis-Athenry refer to.
