Dublin to Belfast high speed line (Chapter 12)
A high-speed line between Dublin and Belfast with only one stop in Dundalk would be of huge advantage to commuters as it would free up capacity on the existing line to allow for enhanced electric commuter train services during peak-times for services south of Dundalk. If one could travel from Dublin to Belfast in one hour it would help establish strong economic and social links between both cities and would provide a platform of connectivity, which is more important now than ever in the post-Brexit climate. A stop at Dundalk would ensure the M1 economic corridor would also be strategically linked to both cities.
