Coverage: Galway city, Oranmore, Salthill, Barna, Athenry, Tuam commuter links

Coverage: Belfast, Lisburn, Newtownabbey, Bangor, Holywood, North Down commuter coast

Status: reserve_first_build_seeded
Coverage: Kilkenny city, Carlow town, Thomastown, Callan, Bagenalstown, south-east commuter links
