Per Irish Rail Website...

The Kildare Route project will cost in excess of €350 million.

The new timetable has managed to reduce the number of trains. I wouldn't mind that if the remaining ones go faster.

Today I got the 5:10 to Athlone. It took one hour and 5 minutes to reach Kildare Town which is a full 30 minutes late on a supposedly 35 minute journey.

In these hard times, surely spending €350 million should lead to some improvement for customers, and if not then why spend the money in the first place?
