Episode Details

Milltown railway station is poised for a comeback as part of Ireland’s ambitious Western Rail Corridor revival, with plans to reopen by 2030–2031. Once shuttered in 1963, the station’s track remains intact, and the Milltown Community Council is pushing for a swift, cost-effective reopening — complete with a park-and-ride to ease traffic on the N17 and boost commuting for nearby business park workers. The site’s existing infrastructure, including a passing loop and nearby community-owned land, makes it an ideal candidate. With national goals for sustainable transport and reduced emissions in mind, Galway County Council is rallying support from ministers to secure the hourly Galway-Dublin service and ensure this vital link gets back on track.
