Senator Cummins said that the Waterford to Dublin journey takes two and three quarter hours. Surely if one can travel from Dublin to Cork in little more than two hours one should be able to travel from Waterford to Dublin in two hours or less. The Galway, Westport, Sligo and Limerick routes should all take two and a half hours. Some of the western trains to Dublin stop at every station. There should be no need for each train to stop at all stations. The last stop on the Westport line should be Athlone. The train should travel directly from Athlone to Dublin.
