Jamie2k9: I strongly disagree with your last post. The timetable leaflets were unbeatable in terms on convenience: if you were going to Killarney for a few days you could put a Kerry Road timetable in your pocket and have instant access to relevant information no matter where you were in the wilds of Kerry.
I don't know what percentage of the population have smartphones, but its well short of 100. You say that "Besides a few OAP's everybody has access to online website/app/station staff/call center voice timetable etc.". Not true of everybody and not true at all times and in all places.
And I really object to the OAP reference, as if they were some sort of irrelevant bunch of computer-illiterate old fogeys.
