the fall-back selling point of the service is that it calls to those stations.
Reality is that this is a typical square peg round hole solution by IE to fit in with the whim of a political master using the trains for parish pump advantage. This train was always going to call to those stations, it was to start off in portlaoise depot and head to dublin but it was pulled all the way back to limerick for this purpose.
it was 15 mins late in monesterevin this morning too. sort of defeats the purpose of getting into work before 9 am.
