Extra Waterford - Hueston Service on 5 Sep

Depart Waterford - 09:30
Arrive Dublin Heuston - 11:45

Dublin Heuston - 19:30
Arrive Waterford - 21:45

Both services serve Thomastown, Kilkenny & Muine Bheag

The 15:05 - Waterford - Heuston & the 17:40 Heuston - Waterford are both ticket only services.

The 15:05 and 17:40 services will be operated by a 4 coach 2700 railcar on that day. So no catering and no reservations.

I prosume thats why there is an extra 12 mins added on to the 17:40 but why is the 15:05 to Heuston running the normal time.

Extra train from Kilkenny by the looks of it.

The 2700 may be able to make the trip within the alloted time on some legs of the trip, but there may be an opposing train at one of the passing loops.
