Well, it seems the IE board isn't scared of the newly appointed minister for keeping seats in Wexford. I think the worst thing about this process is the rationale for both deciding to open a line (WRC) and closing one (South Wexford) is far from transparent. Good news for the Ballyhack ferry too I suppose since converting the Barrow bridge to road isn't on.

A bunch of IE honchos were supposed to be in wellington bridge tonight - bet they had a hot reception.

Does removing the South Wexford have an implication for the morning Rosslare-Dublin, or are those lines isolated from each other due to their different signalling at present?

Assuming that the government haven't the balls to force IE to reverse and to properly timetable the line service, I guess the next question is what the short term implication is for equipment/crewing reallocation, or whether the intent is to rob resources for politically favoured lines elsewhere.
