Residents of east Galway have criticised Iarnród Éireann because too many trains speed through their local station without stopping.
A group has been formed to pressurize rail bosses into improving services at Woodlawn Station.
"Dublin to Galway trains pass through Woodlawn throughout the day, but only four stop there going west, and another four going east. We want Iarnród Éireann to make sure that the other trains also stop in Woodlawn too," said Michael Kilgannon of the Woodlawn Heritage Group, which has brought together more than 400 locals in a protest campaign.
"The first train to Dublin leaves Woodlawn each day at 5.57am, but the next one is not until 3.27pm, which is a very long gap. And people don't know what trains do stop in Woodlawn - they are very confused," he said.
Iarnród Éireann spokesman Barry Kenny said the company would look at including further stops for Woodlawn when it completed its new schedule in December. Existing services at the station would be maintained, he promised.
