2013 Heuston & Regional Draft Timetable

[neoncircles]

Sounds like a typical irish rail arrangement.

[dowlingm]

there are non-passenger moves, such as the movement of wagons between Waterford and Limerick. Presumably those can be squeezed in?

[Inniskeen]

There is no active proposal to automate the level crossing at Carrick on Suir. There has been a degree of local agitation concerning delays at the crossing with one local politician even dragging Vradkar to witness the trauma allegedly experienced by motorists.

Expect Irish Rail to devise a solution that futher marginalises the railway to save a handful of motorists a few minutes every now and again.

Limerick/Waterford is yet another line where a lot of public money has been spent with no substantive result. The proposed timetable from mid-January is yet another step towards irrelevance. Ironically this is one of the few routes where Irish Rail could run a relevant and competitive service, but appear to have no wish to do so.

Seems only a matter of time before Waterford is reduced to a similar status to Rosslare with services to and from Dublin and a greatly dimished infrastructure.

I`d say the Cabin in Carrick will be come a gate box and who ever is on duty will open the waiting room and toliets .
If its removed as a Block Post , all turnouts will be removed ...

Considering tipp town station is being CTC upgraded , and 2 level crossings east of tipp town were recently automated in the last month...
you would they would keep Carrick open , this is a regrettable decision ....

[Inniskeen]

Just curious - what two level crossings east of Tipp have been automated ?

[Traincustomer]

Have an inkling it may be Bansha and Cappagh LCs but haven't been on the westerly part of the line for a few months.

Grange was one of them cant remember the other ..
