I'm pretty sure all those questions are what a feasibility study could answer!

I don't know if it is just how the media are reporting this, but I understood that this proposed study was to look at all options, from removing pinch points and speed restrictions on existing lines, all the way up to a brand new high speed line. A review of the entire network along the Belfast - Dublin - Cork / Limerick corridors.

I am of the opinion that a strategic rail review should be carried out every 20 years or so.
