Why is this important?
I care about this because the South East keeps getting treated like an afterthought. The Dublin–Rosslare line is slow, unreliable, and now they’re talking about downgrading it instead of fixing it. That affects real people — students, workers, families — who just want a decent way to get to and from the capital without sitting in traffic for hours.
A few smart upgrades could make a huge difference, but if we don’t push back now, this line will be left behind for another generation. That doesn’t feel fair, especially when we’re being told to cut emissions and use public transport more.
