Figures for how many people got on trains towards Cork on 15th November from last year's heavy rail survey
Thurles: 288
Limerick Junction: 274
Charleville: 9
Mallow: 657
It may have a rubbish service towards Cork (you can't actually get to Cork til 11:40am), but Charleville certainly wouldn't be driving demand on an early service.
Having said that, the figures for Thurles and Limerick Junction aren't bad.
