[16-5-2008] 21:00 Heuston Cork deferred (and lack of Limerick connection?)

21 00 Dublin to Cork, Friday 16th May by Corporate Communications


Iarnród Éireann advises customers that the 21.00hrs Dublin Heuston to Cork service on Friday 16th May is deferred to 21.30hrs, to facilitate demand from a large number of customers attending a sporting fixture.

Iarnród Éireann thanks customers for their cooperation, and apologises for any inconvenience caused.

Two things about this:

1. There seems to be a conflict of information. According to the PR above it departs Heuston at 21:30, but according to the timetable it departs at 21:40

Dublin Heuston Limerick Junction 21:40 23:25 InterCity

2. According to the timetable the normal Limerick connection to the 21:00 Heuston Cork will depart at its normal scheduled time

Limerick Junction Limerick 16/05 22:48 23:16 0 Railcar

According to the timetable the deferred 21:00 train should reach Limerick Junction by 23:25 with the connection already gone? This doesn't seem right!
