Episode Details

The six fifty AM train from Athenry to Galway is staying — a major win for commuters after a petition with nearly 1700 signatures convinced the Minister of Transport to keep the service alive. Though launched just last October as a temporary measure tied to station upgrades, locals relied on it heavily for work and daily life. Local TD Louis OHara pushed hard in the Dáil, highlighting Athenry’s growth, business expansion, and overcrowded alternatives. While the train’s future is secure, OHara warns the fight for reliable bus services continues — funding still pending.
