Thanks for that, AthyCommuter. I had imagined you would be a "double commuter", i.e., car to another town (Kildare) and then train to city.
It's great that there's a new a.m. option on the Waterford line; pity it's not balanced out by an evening option at around 5:30.
The 19:45 option, while geat to have, is too late for everyday commuters.
When full clock-face operations become a reality, isn't there meant to be a
2-hourly service on the Waterford line, with Hourly service at peak times?
Maybe then there will also be an appealing evening option for the return journey to Athy.
If only a 2- or 3-car set could be dedicated to work up and down the line ex-Kildare maybe as far as Carlow and/or Kilkenny all day long, taking connections off Kildare Arrows... The good thing about the Waterford line is it doesn't have traffic conflicting with other lines (beyond Cherryville Jctn).
