Passenger consultation doesn't exist in the MOU, even if it did the MOU is not legally binding.
Its a very shady arrangement between the DoT and IE, the MOU has clearly emblazoned on it "Commerically Sensitive Document" but then states it has no legal effect and quotes no monetary amounts, so it is commercially sensitive to kow the number of trains to Cork?? More suprising is IE managers did not recongnise the document when it was produced.
The customer panel is a farce, IE don't want to hear anything from there passengers who lets face it know more about running a railway than they do. Its a classic PR stunt to look like they care.
One of the greatest challenges Platform 11 faces is finding even more ingenious ways to force IE to change and by god the second the term legal action appears they jump
