Although, it misses out on the fairly substantial numbers using the service from Cork-Glounthaune.

But Cork has a lower per passenger subsidy than Dublin commuter trains and on paper could make a surplus if the extra stations were added in.
Due to the length of journey on all routes in Cork (Mallow, Cobh and Midleton are all 25 minutes from Cork) you can get an hourly service very cheaply. Its in a sweet spot in terms of running costs and thats why Youghal is a no go
Total commuter carryings in Cork are over 600k for an operating cost not much more than the entire WRC
