Issues with changes to the Sligo line timetable 70 3.0%
ADDRESSED: Alterations have been applied to the Draft timetable in particular retaining post 16:00 Departure
The current Sligo timetable pattern could not be retained due to the implementation of the 10 min DART Frequency and also due to the implementation of additional speed restrictions on the route associated with sighting issues at level crossings as dictated by international Safety Standards.

Do these international safety standards just start lather this year or is the current timetable able to hide them now?

9 Issues with proposed time of new 15:35 Connolly/Sligo service 65 2.8%
ADDRESSED: This departure time will be deferred to 16:10 in response to customer feedback. This train will operate as a 7 car Intercity railcar to meet demand.

Guess that will mean extra capacity on the 07.00 up in the mornings however how warranted this is combined with the empty capacity scheduled ex Connolly in the mornings. Costs will only go one way and little if any gain in passengers.
Number 28 and 29 are utter bull, they could at least be honest and say demand wouldn't meet operating costs in most cases.
Are we to assume this will be the final draft or will they issue a second lather this year with Heuston?
