[article] Mayo freight train service starts
Irish Times, 07.04.2006

A new container freight train service started yesterday between Ballina, Co Mayo, and Waterford.

Norfolkline, a Waterford- based company with headquarters in Amsterdam, will initially carry 18 45-ft containers between Ballina and Waterford once a week, but the service is expected to increase in frequency.

There had been growing concerns for the future of Ballina freight services, since the freight trains between Dublin and Ballina ceased last year.
