I'm looking at the timetable in front of me and there is a very good selection of trains for Newbridge passengers,17:10,17:15,17:25 and 17:50
But like you I'm not happy with the time taken. I know this is the KRP but still.
I've been getting thte 17:15/17:10 to Athlone since it started in 2004.
In 2004/2005 it used to take 46 mins to get to Port
In 2006 it took 49 mins
This year it will take 60 mins.
To be honest this is a pain but if I could get a seat in the evening I wouldn't be half as bothered.(standing for the >100 mins we endured last night is soul destroying) Why don't IE extend the new 17:15 to be an 6/8 car train and remove the 17:10 from having to stop in Newbridge?
