Default Limerick Junction now on Real-Time Information

As of this morning Limerick Junction is on the real-time information system with live data

It should make a big difference to system as trains previously went missing as they past through the ancient signaling at Limerick Junction

They could do with updating the narrative underneath. It refers to the limerick Junction to Rosslare line which now only goes to Waterford. Heuston to Hazelhatch doesnt need to be on the list as far as I can see and now obviously limerick junction station can also be taken off it. Perhaps other line sections that are on the list that now have updated signalling.

Its still under test in Limerick Junction and requires some tweaks. It became technically possible in the early hours of Monday and was working by Tuesday morning

The system cannot currently provide accurate arrival/departure times for Heuston station.

Waterford - Rosslare is still officially an open route and it is likely to have an intercity passenger train travel over it this month (sadly no passengers onboard). The real time tracking system does also include all extra and special trains

Full real time tracking of all intercity services nationwide will be with us soon and it will be much more accurate than the current system

I know that is only nit picking and insignificant in the grand scale of things but would it not be more accurate to say Heuston to Cherry Orchard rather than Heuston to Hazelhatch.

Cherry Orchard to Hazelhatch has only started working recently, but yes.

Waterford - Heuston trains are generally kept updated on the real time info but Heuston - Waterford is only updated until Cherryvile junction. Is it that people can't be bothered to update it or some other reason.
