Just got my hands on a copy of the 2007 timetable for Dublin-Kildare. As a Kildare commuter I'm quite disappointed to see that the 17:30 to Kildare which used to have a scheduled arrival of 18:05 has been replaced with a 17:25 which has a scheduled arrival of 18:09.

Just thinking out loud here, but is this change designed so that more people will actually miss the train as quite a large number of commuters board the 17:30 between 17:25 and 17:30? Is this another clever way of dealing with overcrowding?

Additionally, if we now miss the new 17:25, we'll have to wait 40 mins for the 18:05 - the 18:00 no longer stops in Kildare.

I'm not even going to mention the morning section... it just makes me mad...!
