Upgrading the Kerry line

[Jamie2k9]

This is all pie in the sky about airport link, out of the 8 services a day do any actually meet flights currently. Kerry will never have a new terminal for many years ahead if not decades and if the PSO is lost lather this year the airport may not even exist in a few years, the lost of the PSO would boost passenger numbers on the Tralee route more than an airport link.

Minus the Dublin flights at most there is 1 flight to London daily with another London and Hahn a few days a week for majority of the year and people think a rail line is justified. The costs involved would never ever be covered unless passengers were going to pay very very high fares to justify a return. The Political Railway Corridor would carry more passengers at Gort than a Kerry Airport stop.

You don't have passenger stats of which % live along the railway either to calculate weather it would be a good investment.

As for extra traffic on Tralee route I'm sure its doing reasonably well when it has more services than Sligo or Waterford.
