The upgrading and extension of the mainline railway system, including the re-opening of closed lines such as the Athlone to Mullingar line, is a matter for consideration by Iarnród Éireann in the first instance. The re-opening of the Athlone-Mullingar rail line was not identified as a priority in the Strategic Rail Review and is not provided for in Transport 21.
