![]() The grapevine is telling us that there have been a fair few cancellations on the Cork Cobh in recent days
Anyone out there in cyberspace have experience of this?

![]() Over Christmas there was a notice in Cobh station saying that the 19.30 & 20.30 ex cobh were replaced by buses and so presumably the 19.00 and 20.00 ex Cork would be buses as well.
I used the train quiet a few times over Christmas and they were generally very punctual with only 5 minute delays on the evening rush hour ones from mallow, this was caused by the CDE sitting on platform 4 and so forcing both the Cobh and Mallow bound trains to use platform 5, I don't know where the crossover is on the north side of Cork, is it in the tunnel or further out???? On a different subject sombody has laid some blue electrical cable on stakes along the Midleton track from Cobh Junction. |

![]() Screw the crossover. Who cares!
All Dublin bound services are working the new timetable now. However this is as a result of some Mallow and Cobh services being cancelled, with continued bus substitution. In order to protect the integrity of Cork - Dublin services, IE management have conceeded to Driver wishes on rosters. (amazing how they couldn't do that a month ago ![]() Keep an eye on the IE web site to see if they mention cancelled cobh services on Sunday mornings. There are also reports of crossing keepers not working the new timetable as management failed to engage with them in relation to changes in working hours. |

![]() Its not industrial action, working your agreed work and nothing more is fully legal
The question to ask is why Irish Rail pushed ahead with a timetable without staff agreement
