Doesn't explain the 7-10 minutes between Mallow and Cork

If you look back at the timetables the extra time between Kildare and Dublin added for the works in Heuston was removed, the padding predates the Heuston upgrade

I can recall arriving in Hueston 10-13 minutes early before the upgrade and that was even with a fairly slow run in from Portarlington

Put it this way last week on the slightly sick MK4 train limited to 60 mph we did Kildare Dublin in 36 minutes which is still faster than any published timing despite not being able to travel at line speed
