I wonder why IE publish timetables that say
"Monday - Saturday (excluding public holidays)" and "Sundays ( excluding public holidays)" when they mean Bank holidays?

These only differ by two days this year as far as I can figure 19 March and 6 April.

Why not flag these in the timetable?
or add a line to the timetable to say to check for these dates and list the dates
Or decide on a fixed schedule for these holidays.

I was told only a few weeks ago that " Sher it's always a Sunday service on a bank holiday" by the guy in Rush and Lusk station. And yet today, a bank holiday but not a Public Holiday, a saturday service is running.
