What on earth is the purpose of a train that goes Cobh-Midleton-Cork-Dublin
What kind of numbers to they expect for this? Could they not just add a few more carriages to the 08:45 from Midleton and ask people to change? |

Hmmm...
On second thoughts, using those timings, they are identical to the 08:30 from Cobh and 08:45 from Midleton. Presumably, the special actually starts from Cork at 09:20. |

Irish Rail have clearly cut a deal to get these trains in place, the fares are cheap
Note free travel passes will not be accepted on these trains and all other discounts and tickets are not valid

They could have sent the Waterford train the other way... clear the weeds away for the forthcoming 27s...

Both the 06.40 and 07.10 will be clearing the Junction at Kilkenny at the same time and the 07.10 will be stuck behind the special. Could the timetabling be any worse. A 06.30 departure would help things a lot. Can two trains run between the Kilkenny Junction and Muine Beag at the same time or does one have to arrive in Muine Beag first.

Trains can leave Waterford towoards Waterford West Junction about two minutes apart. The special is probably scheduled to depart at 0642.
Don't see any issue at Kilkenny as the 0710 from Waterford will not have left Lavistown North before 0737. Things get a bit interesting around Athy as an 0802 northbound departure from Athy would meet the 0720 from Heuston on the single track between Cherryville Junction and Athy. |
