3. There's cruise ship traffic.
4. Modern signalling and double track so no issues around gatekeeper rosters and far more flexible timetabling possible.
Indeed and town of 10,000+ connected to city of 180,000 which is only 20km away, with an industrial area in the middle and a branch to Carrigtwohill and Midleton. Railway is shorter and quicker than road.

Cobh is more like the north Dublin coastal towns.
