LIT would be far better served if Longpavement halt was built - it would be 2km away but doable for most students over the trip into town and 3km trip back across the river, as well as match days for the Gaelic Grounds and Thomond Park. However, this likely stop won't get built while there is no money to regenerate the surrounding area.

Similarly, the problem with commuting to UL by rail from Nenagh is not arrival in town but the lack of a connector from Castleconnell or another new halt between there and Killonan.

I thought Sixmilebridge wouldn't be open for another while yet because of signalling changes needed - did they fix that while the line was closed by the floods or was that never an issue?
