Everybody in Nenagh I talked too said they would love to see a heritage line. Would this actually be possible? I imagine with closure it would still cost Iarnród Éireann money to maintain the track. Aren't they required to keep the line serviceable these days in case they want to resume services in the future? Would it be more viable to hand the line over to Shannon Heritage or some other state board or to a charity like on the old Dungarvan line.
Would the staff based along that line too be laid off or redeployed to other parts?
