Sligo/Longford line????? Will they ignore this forever?

Waterford has recently acquired a spare driver.

Extra trains will run subject to a driver, train and signalman being available. It is based on historical experience (rugby fixtures tend to result in extra train to Galway) plus evidence of demand. The FAI have to play a part here as they know how many tickets are sold in each county and club.

Contact the district manager Sligo, but the FAI are the ones who can indicate the numbers who might travel and indeed advertise directly to those who have tickets.

Sligo line is now fully automated west of Maynooth and provided the train leaves before 23:30 no extra hours are needed. There is of course the issue of where a train could come from to operate the service
