And don't I know it
Although I don't live in Gorey on the Rosslare line anymore I am really interested in what IE are planning for the line. Splitting Maynooth/Drogheda away from Rosslare Europort services.

This coming July will be 5 years since Rosslare had an InterCity train to run its 3 daily services. Some people like the 2800 class on the route but I'm not one of them. The Rosslare Europort line will hopefully be getting 5 daily services each way with the new 22k trains. I was traveling from Gorey the other day and to waste time by seating on the 2800 class train I came up with, The first 4 trains leaving Dublin will be InterCity then 2 commuter services followed by the last Intercity service. I thought it might be wise to have Rosslare, Wexford, Rosslare, Wexford, Gorey, Gorey, Rosslare keep it in a pattern. Its something that might give IRISH RAIL the right direction ->

07.10-Rosslare
10.30-Wexford
13.10-Rosslare
15.30-Wexford
17.00-Gorey
18.00-Gorey
19.10-Rosslare- For the last service might change to 19.30- 1hr30mins after the 18.00 Gorey service give the two services some space time wise..

I think IE are gonna have to use less padding and reduce journey times. The only reason I can see that IE use so much padding is because all commuter trains will arrive in the city center no later than 15mins of the published time

I personally think IE have to impress the Rosslare line customers with a better service this coming May

Here's to IE making an impression on Rosslare/Calafort Ros Lair.
