In recent years, in wireless communication systems, compared with former communication systems with only telephone applications, higher wireless quality is demanded, and the transmitted power of a mobile station terminal is limited by such factors as the power supply capacity. It is therefore difficult to expand the wireless area covered by one wireless base station. Given this, a relay communication system in which a relay station is disposed at a far edge of the communication service area or in an area having poor radio signal coverage is used, with the object of expanding the communication service area and improving communication quality (for example, Patent Reference 1). In this relay communication system, relay communication is performed between a wireless base station and a mobile station terminal station, via aand 437,000 on the Cork-Midleton line (up 5.8%)

The suburban rail network is based on a s-train concept.
