It is strongly anticipated that the National Transport Authority (NTA) will make their decision vis-a-vis the Rosslare to Waterford line tomorrow, Friday 3rd September.
We hope that common sense will prevail. On the face of it the decision is about the 35-mile South Wexford railway line. Yet so much rests on this decision - the future of regional rail services in the country both in terms of existing and prospective services in the decades ahead: the decision can be likened to the analogy of a flood gate. So whether one lives in Co. Wexford or Co. Donegal what happens tomorrow has implications.
Importantly the decision will profoundly affect how the NTA is perceived both by the general public/transport users and those working within the transport industry.
