16.00-22.00
21.00-08.20 and 08.30

Bringing back a Mark IV for 14.00 rotation might be needed (Friday at least) however as they have not added the 20.00 back into schedules I don't see them running an empty Mark IV nightly for the early morning service if the 21.00 was also converted to Mark IV.

Any other ICR ops are not relevant to PPT operations. Given the capacity change on Friday afternoons over other days they should have adequate stock available to operate most of the PPT service.

We shall see....
You keep focussing on Cork and ignoring some of the early morning commuters out of Heuston.

Perhaps the early morning Carlow and the early Heuston-Portlaoise and return could switch to Mark 4 operation releasing ICRs.
