Strategic Rail Review Report: Statements (Resumed).

 

Regarding inter-urban routes, the Waterford to Dublin line needs to be upgraded. It still takes about two and three quarter hours to travel from Waterford to Dublin, which is crazy. There is a need for a two hour express train in the mornings, especially for business purposes. It is something for which the South-East Regional Authority, the chambers of commerce and local authorities in the area have pressed for some time. It is not very encouraging that it is stated it will happen some time between 2010 and 2020. Many of us will not be around at that stage. This should be expedited, if possible.
