All trains must reverse at Kilkenny, originally passengers from Waterford to Dublin actually travelled via New Ross and then via the Rosslare line to Dublin or Waterford Kilkenny Portlaois Dublin (which doesn't require any reversals)

Killkenny is effectively one corner of a triangle, with Carlow to the north and Thomastown to the south. Normally allow 1 minute per coach to change ends, 6 coach trains 5 minutes is reasonable. It used to be 10 minutes at Kilkenny

25 minute delays at Carlow are not on, if we knew which train you were on we can take a look at what is causing it and what we can seek changed.
