The rail alignment is fully intact for the entirety of the critical and underdeveloped north south transport corridor between #sligo & #galway #relayandreopen #westernrailcorridor #regionaldevelopment #modalshift @NWAssembly @EUJTF_ie @IrishRegions_EU @MayoCoCo
Mayo to Galway intercity services will commence by 2030. Enabling works including surveying and project design continue #westernrailcorridor #modalshift #regionalrail #mayo #galway #regionaldevelopment

2025 saw record passenger numbers on the WRC. Commuters leaving Thursdays heavily loaded 14:20 from #limerick and the queue forming on platform 5 for the 17:52 return in Galway’s #citycentre #ceanntstation #eyresquare #modalshift #westernrailcorridor

The perpetual grind of commuting into #galway on the Tuam road. Time to reopen the #westernrailcorridor #roadsafety #gridlock #congestion #modalshift #sligo #mayo #westofireland #galwaycity #yeatscounty #atlanticrailcorridor
The “Generalised Fourth Power Law” estimates that a 44t #HGV does as much road damage as 136,000 small cars. Tuesday’s #XPO train spared the #N5 the equivalent wear & tear of 2.5 million Ford Focus’s #railfreight #freightliner #modalshift #irishrail #fuelsurcharges
Our population continues to grow rapidly. Time for longterm strategic infrastructure investment to reopen the #galway to #sligo railway in full #mayo #westernrailcorridor #modalshift #westofireland #irelandwest #irishrail #connacht #westerndevelopment

Galway’s majestic new 5 platform terminus is coming close to completion in the heart of Galway City Centre. More capacity for more services & new routes to #cork #dublin #limerick #tuam #mayo #sligo #westernrailcorridor

Time to expand #intermodal #railfreight services and develop inland ports in #Ireland to relieve chronic #drivershortages & crippling costs in the #Irish #roadhaulage sector #westernrailcorridor #straitofhormuz #irishrail #modalshift @fleettransport @Dept_Transport
The line from #galway to #limerick (video) @ 80mph was in the same condition as the line to #sligo is today. Time to renew and reopen the #westernrailcorridor #modalshift #westcoast #mayo #regionaldevelopment #westerndevelopment
Fridays 13.45 from #galway to #limerick was standing room only. It was 50 years to the day since the line closed on April 3rd 1976. #tuam #mayo & #sligo next #modalshift #westernrailcorridor @galwaytourism @edmcgreal @SligoChamber @NWAssembly
Todays 05:28 at a busy Castlebar, a full 240km from Dublin. Extreme commuting in action. This platform will be wedged with direct services to the regional capital #galway by 2030 #westernrailcorridor #modalshift #connectingthewest @davidmcw @MayoDotIE @mayotourism @castlebarNOW

The line from #sligo to #galway marked in blue is completely intact. It now needs to be renewed & reopened. Regional connectivity #shovelready #westernrailcorridor #modalshift #yeatscounty #galwaycity #trafficcongestion #regionalgrowth

Moving #isocontainers one at a time via #hgv to & from Castlebar 250km to port is incredibly inefficient. As diesel hits €10/gallon this practice is completely #unsustainable #uneconomic #modalshift #roadsafety #carbonfootprint #mayofreight #railfreight

The cycle of #railfreight from our manufacturing companies in #mayo to their customers around the globe. #hgv to #train to #quayside to #ship #modalshift #greendeal #roadsafety #netzero #sustainability #irishrail @PortofWaterford @XPOLogistics_Eu

Drone images of todays traffic queue into #galway on the Tuam road. Each full southbound train on the reopened #westernrailcorridor will take 275 cars off the road. There is a better way. #modalshift #sligo #mayo #gridlock #congestion #sustainability #galwaycity

#ireland has undergone an economic transformation. Todays workforce equals the total population from the early 70’s. Time to reopen intact #criticalinfrastructure such as the #westernrailcorridor #regionaldevelopment #sligo #mayo #galway #modalshift #connectingthewest

#irishrail passenger numbers increased by 8.6% to 55 million in 2025, a new record for the network. There are hundreds of thousands more awaiting the reopening of the #westernrailcorridor #modalshift #sligo #galway #mayo @IrishRail @mayotourism @galwaytourism @NWAssembly

Current works on the #mayo to #galway link & how it will look when complete. It is fully funded in the #NDP and due to open for #passengers in 2030. Essential now to continue to #sligo #westernrailcorridor #regionaldevelopment #modalshift @galwaytourism @MayoDotIE @sligo_life
