Early Train towards Sligo

I would love to see that but it's very unlikely. But if so it would really be useful for Sligo IT students who live in towns like Boyle & Longford to commute to Sligo instead of having to live in overcrowed apartments in Sligo

Is there no early bus service from Longford , Carrick and Boyle for Students going to Sligo IT?.

I know there is private bus service from Ballina right to Sligo IT. Tracey's.

I would be surprised if there is not a similar service from Longford?.

There's a bus service from Carrick to Sligo IT in the mornings and evenings at 07.45 and 17.00 but not from Longford.

There is a possible solution but the passenger numbers aren't there

Run a 21:05 Dublin Longford, following morning train runs from Longford to arrive before 8:30 and then operates a Dublin service

Will this service ever happen though? I know it was in the pipeline before but got pulled

Politicians got in the way since it required the cancellation of the 18:18 Connolly Longford beyond Mullingar, despite even with the cancellation Longford would still have 17:05, 17:15, 18:05 and 19:05 depatures

Of course there's demand, but the people who would demand it are not current rail users, I live in carrick on shannon and have had to change my hours to 10.30 to 6.30 to avail of the train. It's rediculous. All other cities have commuter rail, cork, limerick, galway etc
