The Western Railway Corridor is being rebuilt as part of the government's Transport 21 plan. The plan expected the line to re-open in two stages, with the first stage covering the route between Limerick and Claremorris. The second stage, currently unfunded, would see the line restored between Claremorris and Sligo, with Charlestown as an intermediate stop.
