Is it just me or are Sligo line passenger numbers falling?
On Wednesday's 1700 Dublin-Sligo for instance, I had two coaches all to myself arriving into Longford. It's been a long time since I've seen that many empty seats on a Sligo train.
There's still the commuter traffic as far as Longford, but there seems to be very little after that, apart from at weekends - all the "optional" travellers must be taking to their cars or Bus Eireann.
They might yet have a case to truncate the line at Longford/Mullingar and cease this farce

Spent 24 hours of this week on 29000 class railcars.... commuting was always bad but since the Mk2s have gone it's unbearable.... ah well driving test must be coming up soon
