[01/12/2014 - 04/12/2014] bus transfers Waterford-Clonmel-Limerick Junction

This only seems to have been posted today. Wonder does this mean a problem has suddenly arisen at some point along the line.

No problems - replacement of the jointed track in the Cahir area.

Thanks. If not mistaken that will mean that the entire line from Waterford to Limerick Junction will be continuous welded rail.

It would be good if some line speed increases could be achieved - though perhaps accommodation/farm crossings etc... preclude any significant increases.

Every minute counts.
