The 0600 from Cork was on time leaving Mallow this morning, 2 minutes late leaving Limerick Junction, 7 minutes late at Thurles and on time at Heuston. The 0640 from Limerick was approaching Heuston about 1 minute late. The 0810 from Portlaoise was about 4 minutes late at Parkwest due to precedence being correctly given at Kildare to the late running 0710 from Waterford.
The running of the 0600 from Cork had no impact on the vast majority of passengers using Heuston bound services this morning or indeed most mornings over the last 3 weeks. Perhaps 3 or 4 passengers travelling from one intermediate station to another might have been delayed.
As for the information you were given 95% of passengers are fobbed off with nonsense which may well be sincerely imparted based on nonsense information received from others. The station master in Ballybrophy would not be able to accurately estabish the reason for the delay to the 0600 and would have to rely on others.
