There should be an early bird train to Dublin on the Westport and Ballina routes each Monday morning. Such a service operates to Dublin from provincial towns and cities in other regions. The reason it was not available in our region was that as the train took four or five hours to get to Dublin it would have to leave at four or five o'clock in the morning to reach Dublin at a reasonable time. With the new welded rail the journey time has been reduced. I ask the Minister to look again at providing an early bird train on Mondays from Westport, Castlebar and Ballina to Dublin.
