Mr. Jim Meade:
Yes, absolutely. Galway and Limerick in particular have grown quite well. I do not have the figures for Galway and Limerick in my head. The trains on those lines are very busy every day. There is a lot of student travel to the two universities. We mentioned Cork earlier. We also see it in Cork. Within three months of moving to a half-hourly service on the Cobh-Midleton route, it had grown by 40%. Where we have put in the service with the frequency, we are getting the growth.
