Rosslare Europort, ferries at Ringaskiddy, ticketing from Dublin and train speeds mentioned in international access study
Arriving in Ireland, at Ringaskiddy in Co Cork from Roscoff in France, Mr Worth said he was surprised to find there was no bus or train service that met the ferry.
Moving to Rosslare Harbour in Co Wexford, he found there was an 8.15am sailing from the Europort but this was not served by a rail link as there were no trains at that time. He said there was a bus service from Wexford “but the traffic was such that I ended up taking my fold-up bike off the bus and cycling the last few kilometres”.
To avoid this difficulty, Mr Worth said “it could be better” to route the Dublin trains on the old Rosslare to Waterford line and go via Carlow to Dublin. He said the journey “would be longer” but that Irish Rail could utilise its plans for four tracks on the Kildare line to speed up services into Heuston Station.
Mr Worth said that while the rail services to Northern Ireland were generally good, there were many difficulties with extending services to Letterkenny.proposed a service from the Dublin-Belfast line at Portadown, via Strabane to Letterkenny, which was welcome, this was a longer-term aspiration and had some engineering difficulties.Mr Worth said Irish Rail was “working the last bit of capacity out of the network”, but more could be achieved with changes in connectivity.
