Its a function of bad management, bad timetabling and poor management of routine infrastructure maintenance not to mention the beat the customer charter routine
Dublin Cork today with 3 stops (Thurles,Limerick Junc and Mallow) is practical in 2:35 not the 2:45-2:50 Irish Rail quote and thats allowing a 5 minute allowance. Kildare route finished subtract 10 more minutes. I did it in 2:34 with 4 stops in 2006
Biggest hold up is random speed restrictions popping up Newbridge and Ballybrophy are long standing
