New Cork and Nenagh line timetables launched

dowlingm · 18-11-2012, 13:37

nothing I can see on irishrail.ie including the booking engine. Is there a secret handshake?

Always a secret handshake for the politicians

Nenagh has failed so its going to see some major changes.

Looking forward to significantly reduced Dublin Cork schedules

Full pdf will be available in coming days

Only option I can see for Cork reductions is it operates every two hours outside of peak times when it remains houly. It could see 4 servces dropped each way daily if they do every two hours off peak.

Is it safe to say 05.05 via Nenagh will be dropped I wil be most anoyed if it stays.

Its mostly good news, 10-15 minutes off nearly all Heuston routes

I hope this won't result in a further erosion of the commuter service. If you can call it such.

brompton - if you can't work a 8.30-4.30 or a 9-5 job I don't think it can be called "commuter".

I won't rejoice if Nenagh is cut completely. There were better ways it could have been operated, particularly if the Limerick commuter service was the paramount consideration rather than an afterthought to Dublin facing services and had been timetabled to not only give commuters a workday but also include Roscrea in its catchment (from which no competing bus service operates unlike the Nenagh market which is served head to head by JJK and BE)

However you slice it though, a given service should have more passengers than signalmen. It could not go on as it was.

any idea when us plebs are going to see the proposed timetable

Just signed over a significant amount of money for my taxsaver ticket for 2013 without knowing the potential cuts to services

Mark Gleeson · 20-11-2012, 12:02

We have an understand with IE on Taxsaver, passenger will be refunded remaining value on unused portion if a significant timetable change results in that passenger being unable to travel by rail

A pity, but I've been here before with this service. A few years ago when I moved from UK the guard in Birdhill only had a clattered cash box, usually with little change, for people to pay for tickets. Now they have contact-less payment technology and wi-fi onboard the branch line. More recently, the city's bus services have been realigned so that now the services to the Regional Hospital, Raheen industrial estate and University all stop at the rail station. All major commuter markets. Don't think anybody has promoted this to extract value from it. An opportunity for integrated ticketing even? The whole shambles make my blood boil.
