A new local service will begin operation, linking some of the Mayo’s major towns courtesy of modern railcars operating on the Ballina branch line.
The existing operation of a Ballina to Manulla Junction service connecting into Westport to Dublin trains is being extended to provide a local service.

Modern railcars, which are replacing old locomotive-hauled carriages on the line, will continue to connect into Westport-Dublin services, but will also operate return connections to provide a Ballina-Foxford-Castlebar-Westport service three times each way daily. These railcars will be accessible to mobility-impaired customers.
Who knows with the increase in stops maybe Manulla will become a public platform rather than a transfer point? Normally I wouldn't say it was worth it except the trains will stop there regardless so why not pick up some trade?
