Usage on the WRC may well be relatively modest. Possible reasons include service frequency, low end railcars, uncompetitive journey times and recession.
There are many other services and facilities which are very modestly used including Dunboyne/M3 (average off peak load maybe 3 or 4 passengers per train). The huge KRP stations at Adamstown, Clondalkin and Parkwest have loadings per train on a par with the now closed South Wexford line. Many off-peak DARTs carry barely a handful of passengers for much of their trip, especially in the evening.
