Slow start to Saturday services from Longford

[James Howard]

With the odd extra service making a temporary appearance, I reckon there could be a case to be made for an earlier Saturday service from Longford given that the first train doesn't arrive until 10AM. My family has now made four weekend trips to Dublin over the last three weeks that could all have been done by train if there was a train that got into Dublin before 9. Sunday is even worse with the first train not getting to Dublin until midday.

There isn't even a bus service unless you could the two Sligo and Ballina services that leave Longford at 2:30 and 2:55 in the morning.

Could be warranted. Travelling on the 0900 ex Sligo this morning (sat) and there is only standing room left from mullingar. the crowds of folk getting on at Longford and mullingar
