Major rivers normally have a whole lot of streams, if you go back far enough. It seems that if the objective is to get a lot of people from Galway to Athenry, one requirement is to have feeder streams. That is why I am so keen to have Tuam and Claremorris included. If there are no feeder streams, there will be a really busy line. Anybody who uses the Tube in London, for example, will see there are not many people on the trains at the far-out stations, even at rush hour.
