Let's assume there was 30 or 40 million to invest in this line which is extremely hypothetical. Which would do more for the communities along the line - double the number of trains per day or closure combined with a radical increase in bus transport in the area resulting in hourly buses from every town with a population of 1,000 or more to the mainline and/or Limerick.
Because that's what 40 million and the railway's operational subsidy would give you. You'd probably get a greenway as well to preserve the route and attract tourists.
