So is the first train 9:00 from Dublin tomorrow?

There was some mention of the 5:30 from Cork. The later service makes more sense to me since the 5:30 will likely carry a lot of people coming up to Dublin for the week. Apart from there being less people to see it if there were any problems, it's likely to attract a lot of media attention, and there's no point in having the media showing off how overcrowded the train is.
