Major changes

Portlaoise - Dublin all stops replaces Dublin Kildare

Dublin Cork is now 2:35 for most service.

Nenagh service revert to former timetable more or less.

Neatly rules out rail as an option for someone leaving a Park West office at 17:30

Why restore the 19.20 from Cork, it was dropped due to low demand a few years ago and anyone who travels on the 18.20 or 20.20 knows they carry very few passengers.

Glad about the good reduction in Waterford services stopping at Newbridge but disappointed that no effort has being made to have a 09.00 service to Heuston.

generally excellent

there is no need for a 06.00 Cobh Cork.

If they put on a 06.30 service it would get people to the 07.00 Cork Heuston

Also good to see that the last sunday cork-cobh has gone from 22.0 to 22.30

Could do with the 22.30 weekday to Cobh moving back to 23.00 as the demand is there

I assume that the 19:20 Cork-Dublin is because they'd have a set out of position, now that the 05:05 is no more. Most likely there's less of a loss to be made at 19:20. Seeing that it fits in between services, it doesn't need any additional labour and a lot of people working between 5am and 6am will no longer be needed.

Agreed about the 06:00 from Cobh. It should be an 06:30. This is feedback worth giving.

Off peak connections between Cork and Kerry have become a bit of a mess, but peak ones look a bit better, so it's a small price to pay for the faster times to Dublin.

Balancing move as there has to be an equal number of services in both directions

There are no passengers whatsoever on any 1820 or 2020 Cork-Heuston servies to my knowledge

Agreed - I commute from Ballybrophy to Park West and generally speaking Park West in the evenings is not great.
