Proposals for extra train services in North Tipperary...

brompton7 · 01-03-2012, 00:10

In simple terms:

Departures at 45 mins past the hour = many potential customers will not wait for a departure (they are potentially at home 15 mins before it leaves) therefore service doesn't thrive.

Departures 05 min past the hour = untenable for most current users therefore service loses any current business.

Departure 20 mins past the hour = most current users can still use service and extra Nenagh throughput maintained.

Can somebody wiser than I explain to me WHY there is no win/win situation here. Humans have transplanted hearts and put men on the moon; why can't we run a train up a track at a convenient time? (And cross them over someplace, conveniently).
