Kerry doesn't need 2 tracks, only investment should be a second platform at Milstreet as that would ease timetabling difficulties

Kerry needs an airport terminal with a train station in it a proper commuter service to cork, a better carpark in Killarney and a cut in the price to Dublin.Double tracking would be nice but costly a reinstatement of the north Kerry line would be far more cost efficient and add stations to the web.
