Phase 2 Works - Monday 20th - Thursday 23rd August

The final phase of these works will take place from 09.30 Monday 20th August to midnight Thursday 23rd August 2012.

During this phase, bus transfers will be in operation between Limerick and Thurles in each direction.

A temporary timeable will be posted here shortly and will be in operation with earlier departures via Thurles from Limerick to Dublin, Cork, Kerry and Waterford.

Iarnród Éireann apologises for any inconvenience this essential work may cause.

There is something very unsatisfactory about IE's reason for having connections via Thurles, because of work going on at Oola. Something else going on maybe.

In any event, this particular bridge operation seems to have been very badly organised with disruption to rail services on a totally unaccpetable scale.

I assume that they can reduce delays by starting at Thurles- with the diversions in place there's no telling the delays that might befall Limk Junction buses. That said, Limerick-Thurles is an awful drive by road!

Might be better (certainly quicker) running the buses to Portlaoise !
