A NEW report had concluded that the Limerick to Waterford train service journey time could be almost halved at peak times, but passenger numbers would only increase by 0.3 per cent.

The study, carried out by contractors Arup as part of the N24 road project, includes examining the feasibility of higher speeds as a way of improving the rail service. The potential for boosting rail services to an hourly service at peak times between the two Munster cities is cited in documents for the project.
