A new report supporting the development of a Sligo to Mayo rail link has the costs estimated at just under half a billion euros - €411.72m (This amounts to €5.5m per kilometre of restored track).
The report examines the current situation, explains why it’s lagging, and proposes how it can be revitalised and re-integrated.
It concludes that there is a strong case for completing the final leg of the Western Rail Corridor project reconnecting Mayo to Sligo, once the planned Galway-Mayo section of the railway has been completed
Dr John Bradley, ESRI Research Professor, highlighted how the North-West has lost out financially in relation to tourism due to the neglect of transport infrastructure.
