In the current issue of Inside Sligo Business magazine which I read for free in the library (can't being myself to hand over money to a business mag publishers with Tabby on the cover) there is a post T21 announcement article by WestonTrack which ups the ante even further. Apart from the usual "regional development" mantra, (which I have total sympathy and support for with as long as its money well spent on what we really need here in the West). WoT are claiming that the WRC will be the third most used InterCity line on the network when completed and will be vital to relieve all the freight train congestion which is clogging up the Dublin rail network. (!?!?!)
But the best part of all was, that WoT are now demanding that the ENTIRE WRC go ahead ASAP and not in a couple of years because most of the IE PW department will be tied up in Dublin and this will lead to the terrible situation of...now get this..."the WRC will have to take its place in the queue of rail projects."
God forbid.
