Temporary timetable change from June 3rd

As already alluded to the issue is probably the impact on other services and extended journey times.

With the revised departure time of the evening train from Rosslare, the 17:36 service from Connolly has to wait for 15 minutes at Gorey for the up service to pass (normally it's only 1 minute).

The journey time from Rosslare is also extended as the 18:35 from Rosslare has to wait for 14 minutes at Arklow to allow the 18:38 ex-Connolly to pass.

I would suspect that the impact of these delays is viewed acceptable during the summer but not during winter.

Unfortunately, due to the 30 minute DART service to/from Greystones the abililty to path services on the Rosslare line is exceptionally limited, as there are only two windows each hour in which they can operate.
