You should find Irish Rail have these invisible stations in many timetables at stations, they have a place in the staff timetable but not in the public one

Of course we then have Manualla Junction where you stop but cant actually exit other than by train

Thats useful for those using Manulla junction to see if we are on time etc while waiting there.

I found the last bank holiday Monday the Ballina - Dublin Heuston train had 2 timetable errors.
Both Manulla Junction & Clara were listed on the timetable with times but the train didn't stop at either.

Can anyone tell me the reason why at Manulla junction you can change trains but not get off at the the station? My cousin told me this the other year while I was visiting Ballina!

Its in the middle of nowhere, all it is is an island platform no pedestrian access

That said the more adventurous who know the place can wait for the train to depart and exit over the track and up a bank to a nearby road

On Sunday there were passengers on the platform waiting to board the Dublin Train before the Ballina one pulled in, I'd say they tried the above! But there is a set of steps the far side of the bridge that could be used.

You get around a bit. Arrive off ferry in Rosslare and end up in Ballina!! Perhaps you should review your travel arrangements when visiting Ireland.

But it's Ok as long as he doesn't start a campaign for a TGV freight train to Tory Island or something.
