a POSSIBLE commuter service to run as far as Birdhill in the evening .

limeirck - 18.20 Birdhill-18.55
castleconnel-18.40 castleconnel-19.05
birdhill-18.50 Limerick -19.25

a one car unit excists at in Limercik Shed and often is joined to the back of Galway train(s) but this Railcar could operate this service Monday-Friday -All you need is a driver ,if avaible . . .

Tickets can be checked leaving limerick
&
tickets can be purchased arriving back in limerick for Castleconnel passengers

There is a number using the excisting 17.45 to nenagh plus this service would suit passengers finishing at 6pm .More people use Castleconnle &Birdhill than Nenagh for commuter services also it is easier to a train to bridhill than nenagh (killonan - birdhill ets , birdhill - roscrea ets , roscrea - ballybrophy ets /manual staff)

another thing consided was most employment in limeirick is not in the city centre anymore !its on the urban fringes
