Fantasy proposal
I totally understand that financially this is not viable and there is not enough rail users using the line at present.... However.
Wouldn't it make more sense to have a stop just south of Borris - in - Ossory itself and a spur off the current line following a route North of the M7 to join up with the Cork line somewhere between Ballybrophy and Portlaoise. Kilcotton or Ashbrook area.
I am sure all of this has been looked at and reviewed before but I have only recently taken an interest in the subject.
I think unless 50% of the limerick traffic are travelling on this line it is unlikely to ever make a profit. The only way to get limerick people to use it is to invest in the line to reduce travel times.
