Not too many passengers on this train, but some. It was a Thursday; probably a lot more on the following day, Friday. Can't give you details of the passenger figures between Athenry and Ennis, but on Fridays the train size is now usually doubled to four coaches. A recent report (12/April) from Irish Rail says passenger numbers on the Galway-Limerick route are increasing yearly. The figure for 2018 was 387,408 and they expect the 2019 figure to reach 420,000 (estimate).
