if there is a service , and people know about it , they will use it!! but connections at ballybrophy are essinatial , there is no point for it just running to bally which is in the middle of no where! and back , pointless

at roscrea at the evening train when they cross only one will serve the platform 1 , due to no platform footbridge 18.25 to limerick will not service Roscrea !!

If IE go with 17:05, they lose every single potential commuter from Nenagh to Limerick by rail and thats the lines biggest potential market

Rail is good at two things, short distance commuters and long distance. Regional services (Nenagh Dublin is clearly that) are a nightmare

Default timetable

they really have to change this timetable defindailly the evening services fromlimerick , referr them to 17.2o and 18.2opm thats the only way , there is a huge market waiting! but the service to dublin and from dublin provide the most people travelling on train daily ... the dublin services will be used , without a doubt .

another idea would be to divert the 17.25pm to limerick via nenagh cross them at roscrea , so day trippers that went up to dublin can get an early train home! then cross the 18.20pm from limerick at birdhill with the 17.25pm

Default timetable

birdhill wouldnt really matter , but with these services they would be important to the area , so they should cross at nenagh that would work with to timetable also , just push them into the sidings at nenagh and let the 17.25pm run stright through , then push the 18.2o to the platform at run it to roscrea to cross the service coming back from bally !!

Can't do that, as you would have to wait for ages before being able to proceed, its not doable

So what could be done is for the Ballybrophy Limerick train to skip Birdhill, or we play a game with Irish Rail to reinstate the platform.
