[14/11/2009] Bus replacement Wicklow - Gorey ongoing

wobbles · 13-11-2009, 19:53

[quote=Mark Gleeson;50986]Should be fine, there is a large gap in train movements in the morning after the morning Dublin Rosslare and morning Rosslare Dublin pass giving several hours infact to do the job.

If the 1135 is terminating in Arklow and the 1448 is starting from Arklow that means either the 1300 ex Rosslare or the 1305 ex Connolly will be held in the station before Arklow as they wont be able to pass at Arklow as normal with the 1448 train waiting there as Arklow siding is not long enough to take a passanger train anymore.

Arklow siding is good for a 2 car railcar set

It can be done just requires the Gorey train to play a game of musical chairs, it just swaps platforms between the arrival of the two Rosslare line trains

Its actually easy

Gorey train simply moves out towards Gorey after the Dublin bound train arrives.

Rosslare train arrives, Dublin train departs, Gorey train returns to the station to now vacant platform
