Ireland’s poor history in rail investment “is a significant barrier to transport decarbonisation”. Now is the cheapest time to invest #westernrailcorridor #irishrail #economicgrowth #sustainability @davidmcw @SadhbhO @WesternDevCo @NWAssembly @brian_caulfield

RT @AndyEdwardsR14C: @WestOnTrackIRL @davidmcw @SadhbhO @WesternDevCo @NWAssembly @brian_caulfield great opportunity for the new government…

The #westernrailcorridor will enable sustained and #sustainable economic growth between the main population centres in #connacht #galway #mayo #sligo @sligohub1 @Irelandwest @MayoDotIE @ThisIsGalway @visit_galway @choosesligo

Mayo Industries saving #money and reducing #carbonfootprint by transporting goods by #rail to Waterford. These services need to be extended along the #westernrailcorridor to #sligo #galway #ennis #limerick @PortofWaterford @XPOLogistics_EU @IDAIRELAND @Entirl @IrishExporters

Mondays 46 minute journey from the Collooney N4/17 junction to the station, 9 minutes by rail. Early morning #commuter #trains essential from Longford and the reopened #westernrailcorridor #congestion #sustainable #sligo @atusligo_ie @modelsligo @McHughSligo @SligosBuzzin

In 1991 Athenry had 8 daily departures but today has an impressive 37. Tuam with twice Athenry’s population had 0 in 1991 and has 0 today. #westernrailcorridor #commute #congestion #n17 @GalwayCoCo @GalwayCycling @galwayruraldev @ThisIsGalway @urbanlabgalway

Newly laid railway in Askeaton this week was in the same condition as the #westernrailcorridor in #sligo being cleared today just 2 years ago. Reopen the #WRC #galway #mayo #congestion @SligosBuzzin @Sligo @GalwayCycling @GalwayBeoOnline

Ireland has built close to ~1000km of motorways since 2000. Only a nett increase of ~50km has occurred on the heavy rail network. Time now to reopen existing lines #westernrailcorridor #congestion #sligo #galway #mayo @seontrack @GalwayCycling @Galwaycommuter @SligoLEADER

In 2017 Galway earned €590m from overseas visitors. Sligo earned just 7.5% of this. Reopening the #westernrailcorridor will enable more tourists visit and stay for longer in #galway #mayo #sligo @Irelandwest @choosesligo @galwaytourism @visit_galway @mayotourism @TourismIreland

Tuam’s last passenger train in 1976. Our population has doubled since then. Consign past mistakes to history. Enable robust economic growth. Reopen the #westernrailcorridor #sligo #mayo #galway @GalwayCycling @GalwayCoCo @urbanlabgalway @WesternDevCo @galwayruraldev

@IrishRail clearing the #westernrailcorridor in south #sligo last week. Reopening this shovel ready project will connect all the main population & commercial centres in the west benefiting #commuters #students #healthcare #tourism #industry #irelandwest @WesternDevCo

Travelling from #sligo to #galway by rail in 2025 involves a 7hr 13min each way journey. Why?? The direct line just needs to be relayed and reopened #westernrailcorridor #economicgrowth @WesternDevCo @sligohub1 @SligoChamber @Sligo @choosesligo @Irelandwest

In 20 months @IrishRail & @JohnSiskandSon have taken #Foynes overgrown railway to this point. This will allow importers and exporters save money and reduce their #carbonfootprint #westernrailcorridor next @ShannonFoynes @IDAIRELAND @AmericanChamber @Entirl @IrishExporters

Claregalway traffic this evening at 5.30pm. What’s the solution? #westernrailcorridor

Access to Galway’s commercial, cultural, leisure and learning centre will be much easier & #sustainable through rail from #mayo #sligo #tuam #westernrailcorridor @GalwayCycling @GalwayIntArts @uniofgalway @galwaytourism @leogalway

Galway is the 9th most gridlocked city in Europe. Remove congestion at source, reopen the #westernrailcorridor #sligo #mayo #galway @INRIX @GalwayCycling @galwaytourism @galwayad @urbanlabgalway @GalwayCoCo

@IrishRail spokesman said that the fantastic new station in Galway will allow new services on “the Western Rail Corridor (WRC) between Limerick & Galway, & new phases of the WRC such as Athenry/Claremorris”. @IrishTimes @GalwayChamber @GalwayCycling @urbanlabgalway @visit_galway
