The real problem is the 4 way split in control of planning, everyone is fighting for the local team, not for the needs of the region.
Limerick could have with a little thought and not much too much money a very respectable suburban rail service
Cork is miles ahead thanks to good planning, Galway is not far behind, Limerick is left flapping around with no plan at all.
There are plans to redevlop the station and replace all the track and signaling which will enable more services to operate. What is most sad is the fact if the money proposed for the WRC north of Athenry was spent in Limerick it would do a massive amount of good.
For the record we where on radio in Limerick earlier in the year about this and do keep in contact with people in the local area, but as of yet no real momentum has emerged to push for a solution
