[18-1-2010] 18:05 to Portlaoise 3-car

Kilocharlie · 18-01-2010, 19:47

The normally nearly-full 6-car 18:05 to Portlaoise was run as a 3-car today which meant many people standing to Hazelhatch. It also left from platform 7 rather than 2/3/4 so perhaps it was yet another substitution.

Hopefully this is not a permanent change.

The 18:00 Cork train made additional stops at Kildare, Portarlington and Portlaoise. Train arrived in Kildare around 6:33pm. It was nice to get home earlier than normal. The 18:05 is becoming very unreliable.

Missed that announcement! Since the 1805 was down at P7 there was no time for checking for alternatives.

So it looks like a substitution for yet another failed 18:05. The 18:05 used to be a very reliable service. Wonder why it's getting worse? Since it's going to Portlaoise, are they gathering the most troublesome units for a one-way trip?

The 6:20am service from Portlaoise to Heuston was a 3-Car set. Standing room only from Newbridge.

The 0720 Portlaoise - Heuston was cancelled this morning (22nd). The 0610 ex Waterford made additional stops at Sallins, Hazelhatch (passengers on wrong platform) and Admastown and was packed by then.

The 18:05 was a 3-car again today 26th Jan. The 1800 Cork made extra stops at Kildare (18:30), Port'A and Port'L.
