There are renewed calls for the introduction of an early morning train service on the Dublin - Sligo line.

 

It’s thought the need has never been greater in order to help students who can’t access accommodation in Sligo and commuters generally living along the line.

 

It’s an issue that’s been rumbling on for nearly 20 years and despite numerous representations, the timetable has yet to change.

 

The Department of Transport has once again been urged to introduce the service which would arrive into Sligo no later than 8.30am to facilitate both students and workers.

 

Fianna Fáil Cllr Edel McSharry says there’s strong evidence of regional demand and it’s time the relevant bodies ensure the service is finally put in place
