Strategic Rail Review Report: Statements (Resumed).

 

Galway city has a very central rail terminus but there is no proposal to spend money on that line. It could be used to take commuter traffic into Galway, particularly as the trains coming from Dublin do not arrive at a suitable time for people from Athlone or Ballinsloe to get to work in Galway. I am very concerned about the Tuam line, where the famous film "The Quiet Man" was filmed. People from Claremorris and Tuam could use that line if it were included in the strategy and similarly from Ennis and Gort into Galway. The section of the line serving Galway city should be used for commuter traffic.
