1850 Heuston-Newbridge beware

[Mark Gleeson]

Fact is its not in the formal published copy, the pdf copy everyone printed in December, in the staff timetable or indeed the trains own computer.

So imagine a driver leaving Clondalkin, the staff timetable says Newbridge, the computer says Newbridge (even to the point it can verbally tell the driver) wouldn't blame the driver for not stopping since the change did not go through normal channels for entry into the actual timetable.

Such ad hoc changes lead to widespread confusion leaving more passengers in the lurch than the small number who benefit. Back in 2005 the train left at 18:45 and arrived Newbridge at 19:16 (which it actually did), Newbridge passenger now arrive in sometime after 19:26 and we have had emails from commuters who have serious problems with that kind of change
