Once again a master class in how not to word a notice

It doesn't tell us why the trains are cancelled. It doesn't tell us where the works are being carried out and why. It doesn't explain that there are changes to the Limerick Junction - Limerick connections of the Cork trains

And why the fascination with Athlone? why not Tullamore?

Thomas Ralph · 17-10-2007, 17:27

On the last point, I would guess it has something to do with not being able to turn a train at Tullamore.

the 22.45hrs Heuston to Kildare service will have bus transfers in place on Saturday evenings in November.

Iarnród Éireann regret any inconvenience this essential work may cause.

Mark Gleeson · 30-10-2007, 12:10

Just to explain this

There is no problem running the 22:45 service to Kildare there is nothing in the way to stop it. The 22:45 is cancelled since Irish Rail are too lazy to park the railcar in Kildare overnight

No one is really going to miss the first Heuston Kildare local train on a Sunday anyway

So once again we suffer since Irish Rail want to be lazy

Mickey H · 30-10-2007, 13:02

Are any staff on duty at Kildare at night? If IE work the same as NIR/Translink overnight then it is not permitted to leave a train overnight at an unstaffed location

Mark Gleeson · 30-10-2007, 13:12

Engineering trains and failed locomotives are left overnight in Kildare on a regular basis.

Mark Gleeson · 07-11-2007, 14:04

Just to confirm the Saturday night cancellation of the 22:45 Heuston Kildare continues

Its not shown on the IE site but trust me there is a bus in its place this Saturday, Nov 10

If you do a journey search for the heuston kildare the 23:00 shows up but mode of transport shown as bus no news items though

It's at times like these Galway-Mullingar-Connolly paths would be useful.

Mark Gleeson Technical Officer Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Coach C, Seat 33 Posts: 12,669	Just to explain this There is no problem running the 22:45 service to Kildare there is nothing in the way to stop it. The 22:45 is cancelled since Irish Rail are too lazy to park the railcar in Kildare overnight No one is really going to miss the first Heuston Kildare local train on a Sunday anyway So once again we suffer since Irish Rail want to be lazy __________________ Unhappy with new timetable - let us know
