2011 Proposed Timetable - Heuston Based Services

Jamie2k9 · 07-01-2011, 15:07

On the Irish Rail website there is a option to give timetable feedback for the proposed new timetable. It's about time that IR listen to passengers.

One good thing is that some Waterford - Dublin services will only spend 4 minutes in Kilkenny but the rest remain unchanged at 5 minutes.

IR propose the 13:20 to depart at 13:10 and arrive in Waterford at 15:25.
Spent 6 minutes waiting in Carlow.
Stop in Athy.

What are they delaying the first morning train from Waterford for? I know it's only 5 minutes but that makes all the difference when it comes to Irish Rail.

The 6.10 couldn't arrive on time so they moved it to 6.00 (I'm not saying this was IR's reason for changing the timetable then) and now they're moving it to 6.05 to arrive at 8.25 which probably means around 8.35-8.40

Why doesn't this apply to Connolly? Are there no proposed changes to timetables out of Connolly or is it that there are potentially negative changes to the Connolly timetables and they would rather present them as a done deal?

On the above link provided it states:

Connolly and DART related timetables are not available at this time but your comments are still welcome.

I had noticed that, but while such comments might be welcomed, they can hardly be expected to useful or constructive given the absence of information on which they could be based.

Heuston is mainly a change for the 4 tracks and the return of a number of ICR coaches

We have already submitted a comprehensive timetable for Connolly which brings a clockface pattern on all routes
