Galway Suburban Rail

Galway Suburban Rail or Iarnród Bruachbhailteach na Gaillimhe is a suburban rail service currently operating on the Dublin–Galway line between Galway, Oranmore and Athenry.

Galway Suburban Rail Services

Commuter services in the Athenry–Galway corridor consist of the following:

Early morning and late evening services between Athlone and Galway serving the County Galway towns of Ballinasloe, Woodlawn and Attymon.
Morning and evening Intercity service originating from Limerick serving the County Galway towns of Gort, Ardrahan and Craughwell.
Evening services which continue to Athlone and Heuston Station, Dublin.

Between these routes, there are 14 services in each direction each weekday in this section, with 11 services from Galway and 10 services from Athenry on Sundays.

Galway Suburban Rail Future Developments

Under the Transport 21 plan, service is planned between Tuam and Galway via the closed line to Claremorris. However, funding for this has not been identified and no Railway Order has yet been sought.

Iarnród Éireann are hoping to increase Galway commuter services with service from Galway to Athenry every 15 minutes (this likely includes services to Dublin and Limerick) and the 2nd platform at Oranmore.
