Will this essentially be a carbon copy of the consultation process timetable (& subsequent minor adjustments)? Increased frequency DART? Slowing of Rosslare/Belfast/Sligo line services? There were at least two previous threads on this: http://railusers.ie/forum/showthread.php?t=15544 http://railusers.ie/forum/showthread.php?t=15490 Also: http://www.irishrail.ie/blog/post?a=631 |

![]() Current timetable with some tinkering in the morning and evening seems to be extent of it on the Connolly side apart perhaps for some offpeak improvements on the Maynooth line. Services on some mainline routes are being slowed down on spurious safety grounds, while others are accelerated to leverage some value from the "line improvement" works on the Cork route.

![]() Have they given up on passenger consultation on timetable changes? At least there used to be a pretence at trying to get the views of the customers on whether new timetables were actually an improvement.

Rail is an obvious option to reduce carbon emission but in ire it doesn’t even get a mention. Planners only looking forward a far as tomorrow instead of thinking 20yrs ahead and putting the infrastructure in place today. |

![]() There will be no consultation as the timetable changes will not result in any extra trains, some minor re-timings to account for the engineering works on the Dublin Cork line delivering improved speeds.
Details should be available from Nov 14

![]() Service increases on the Maynooth line have only been objected to by the unions in the last week - we don’t know what the company’s response will be yet.
The timetable could be deferred altogether if the dispute continues. |

![]() Even if matters are problematic Connolly side it would be good if the accelerated timings Heuston side could be brought into effect sooner rather than later. However perhaps the Phoenix Park Tunnel means this couldn't be done without the Connolly side tweaks too.

![]() Can't imagine the unions being too cooperative with roster changes associated with a new timetable so probably won't happen unless dispute is settled.soon.
