Decision on ending direct Wexford-Dublin trains has ‘absolutely not been made’

A decision to end direct trains between Wexford and Dublin has ‘absolutely not been made’, Irish Rail has promised.

The NTA is reportedly considering a curtailment of the route, with passengers for Dublin disembarking at Bray or Greystones in County Wicklow and travelling onto the capital by DART., Irish Rail spokesperson Barry Kenny said the organisation wants to enable more people to travel by train.“The Rosslare train, people who use it will know because we’ve got a very high frequency service from Bray to Dublin, it tends to back up behind it.

“It’ll be able to have direct services, it’ll be able to have a mixture of direct and interchange,” he said. “The infrastructure modelling says to absolutely squeeze every last bit of capacity out, you would have an interchange.Mr Kenny said Irish Rail’s priority is to “run more trains for everybody” and a consultation on the issue will begin this summer.The Government is also committed to reducing emissions from transport by 51% by the end of the decade.

As part of the “ambitious” plan, Irish Rail has committed itself to delivering 80 million passenger journeys by 2030 - nearly double the 50 million taken before the pandemic.Share this article
