Notice has been updated with the days that there are bus substitutions. Are the bus substitutions on the Ballina branch to and from Claremorris? I don't think there is public access to Manulla Junction?!

Does anyone know what the reason is behind the bus transfer 15.30 Heuston to Galway (on Fridays)? Does the set need to return to Dublin to form a later service? There are MK3 sets in Waterford and plenty of locos in Inchicore that could be used if rolling stock is in short supply (which it is!)
