Not exactly trying to coordinate with the Dublin Cork train times

They also have a new timetable for Roscrea to Nenagh and have gone to the trouble of printing the train times on the timetable, but there really are no good connections. The best is a 19 minute wait for the bus if you have got off the 10:05 ex Ballybrophy in Roscrea.

New route announced yesterday. Thurles to Portlaoise 3 times daily. Operated by J.J Kavanagh. Starting 1st of July €8 single, €16 return. I believe IE is €25 to Portlaoise(?)

It takes 90 minutes though, so I'm sure is intended as a feeder to the two rail stations, rather than encouraging people to use it instead of the train, which is only 36 minutes.

That said, €25 is a disgraceful fare for a 60km journey.
