Important changes in the 2007 timetable

Mark Gleeson · 08-01-2007, 12:25

The 19:05 Connolly Sligo now serves Kilcock and Enfield

Extra 6:00 am Gorey calling same stops as the 6:45 am but running to Sligo departing Connolly at 8:00 am

Ballina shuttle offers connections in both directions so Ballina Westport is possible

23:10 Pearse Maynooth Mon-Sat

And now for the bits they didn't tell you...

There are far fewer through services from Mallow to Cobh. The morning and evening rush is still catered for, but otherwise, it's a change at Cork.

Its got something to do with the hourly Cork Dublin

Of course the 7:15 Cork Mallow and 8:00 Mallow Cork are worth a look, Mk4 operated local trains, technically they can't stop you travelling in first since the train is not classified as having first

So that's what suburban means.

Seeing that there's a theory that Irish Rail senior management read this website, I may as well say it... I was very disappointed they didn't fix up the connection between Dublin-Cork and Cork-Cobh trains in the new timetable. Through the day it's fine with a 10-15 minute gap between the arrival of a train from Dublin and the departure of one to Cobh, then it goes all wrong in the evening with 30+ minute gaps appearing for connections from the 6pm and 7pm from Dublin when these are likely to be the most popular trains from Dublin. If they could throw on one extra train to Cobh and have departures at 9, 10 and 11 (instead of 9:30 and 10:30), the connection would be a lot nicer.
