Nenagh isn't one in the sense of what is done elsewhere e.g in the UK
Already discussed the idea with a local group not so long ago and they have effectively fewer trains per day than Nenagh has
There is no cash being put up by Nenagh nor any commercial assistance, e.g. coffee shop at station etc from what we know. In the true sense of partnership the local authority would be writing cheques to make it happen. Its a curious thing for a town to encourage people to leave it, normally these things work on a line or destination basis
We have had positive discussions with people in the Limerick/Tipperary area, but for something way bigger, you need 8 trains a day and a proper fare structure
Example
Newbridge Dublin 25 miles, 161 euro per month, approx. 6 trains each rush hour
Nenagh Limerick 25 miles, 161 euro per month, 1 train each rush hour
Given Newbridge complains about the fares being some of the highest per mile, the 161 euro monthly can't be justified
Tom has more given he is the 'local'
