Over 1,000 Submissions Lodged On Reopening Of Crusheen Railway
There has been a surge in support for the reopening of the Crusheen Rail Stop. In March, Clare County Council commissioned Repucon Consulting to conduct a feasibility study to examine the socio-economic benefits of re-instating the North Clare rail stop. Within the first two weeks, the survey has already received over 1,000 public submissions weighing in on the prospect of reinstating the line that closed to passenger traffic in 1976. Colman O'Raghallaigh from West On Track believes the reopening the station is inevitable.
