Rail Users Ireland (previously Platform 11) is a rail transport pressure group in Ireland whose agenda is centred on the idea that there is an economic case for expanding rail transport in Ireland through better utilization of existing infrastructure with only justified expansion of existing routes. Through press releases, lobbying and leafleting they have promoted the Interconnector, a proposal to build a tunnel south of the Liffey to link up Dublin's Heuston Station with the existing DART and LUAS lines. The group is a member of the European Passengers Federation a European level representative body for rail users which shares the same outlook in terms of sustainable transport provision and improving standards on public transport.
