Talk in the papers that the line is up for the chop again...
I'm a big supporter of the Ballybrophy - Nenagh - Limerick line but no one is going to use it as it is. I searched earlier for a train from Dublin to Nenagh on Saturday. 3 hours 10 minutes... I'd actually drive down and back to Dublin in that time.
I mean I don't want the line closed but I would rather they close it and invest the money more wisely elsewhere rather than keep that poor service going. It's a waste of time as it is. I'm a supporter of the line and I won't use it at 3 hours 10 minutes.
Limerick is 40 km further from Dublin than Nenagh and the train from Dublin to limerick is 1 hour 10'minutes faster.
So either invest in the line and improve the speeds or just mothball it until we find a massive oil field between Annacotty and Nenagh.
Limerick Junction to Limerick Colbert ~ 40 km - Journey time 26 minutes
Nenagh to Limerick Colbert ~ 40 km - Journey time 60 minutes
I mean how can they expect people to use that service?
