AFTER YEARS OF falling passenger numbers in Irish Rail- apart from a stabilisation in 2013-they are now on the increase.

In the first 6 months of this year, 18.3 million journeys were made compared to 17.8 million in the same period last year.

That’s an increase of 500,000 (2.7%).

Intercity up 5% to 4 million with Cork numbers up 7%
Dublin/Cork Commuter up 3.6% to 6.4 million
DART up 0.8% to 7.9 million
