Welcome to West=On=TrackNEW REPORT SHOWS RESTORED SLIGO-GALWAY RAIL LINK VITAL TO REGION'S FUTUREA new report has found 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. See report here: Edited by former ESRI Research Professor, Dr John Bradley, the report examines the current structure and performance of the economy of the N&W region, the reasons why it is 'lagging', and how it can be revitalised and re-integrated into the currently more buoyant national economic performance. The 216 page report, entitled The Atlantic Railway Corridor - The Mayo-Sligo Rail Link: An Appraisal, includes a detailed survey and analysis of the dormant Claremorris-Collooney rail line and provides preliminary cost estimates for its restoration based on information provided by railway engineers and the previous restoration of the Ennis-Athenry line, suitably indexed for inflation and modern safety requirements.
