It was on the journey planner a while ago. I was going to post this but it slipped my mind.

Still not good enough though.

Several trains between Heuston and Cork have been running late. The 1130 Cork-Heuston didn't get in until 1445. The 1730 Cork-Heuston still isn't in. This will cause a knock-on effect to the 2100 Heuston-Thurles.

[Thomas Ralph]

The train ran a few minutes late as a 2×3 22000. The connection from Thurles to Cork didn't get in until 0040; it seems IÉ got caught on the hop with numbers, as there were a sizeable number of rather depressed Munster supporters. Most of the buses therefore had to go to Limerick, and there was only one left for Mallow and Cork.

[Colm Moore]

Reservations aside, surely when people got on at Heuston, they had 60-90 minutes to arrange buses?

[Thomas Ralph]

You'd think, wouldn't you.
