![]() Since the opening of the M9 Dublin - Waterford Motorway there has being a sharp drop in passenger numbers on the Dublin - Waterford trains. After speaking to an employee in Waterford recently he said that passengers numbers are falling. The motorway takes 90 mins to Waterford where as the train takes between 2hr 20min - 2hr 30min.
1 - f less trains served Newbridge and Kildare. (Waterford services serve them a lot more than Galway, Cork, Limerick, Westport etc) 2 - If further two passing loops were added between Cherryville Junction & Athy and Kilkenny & Muine Beag. 3 - Over all speed limit after Cherryville is increased. (Trains crawls for about 20 minutes between Cherryville - Waterford) I have started to use the train less as the car is much quicker. Anybody any thaughts. |
