At the very least RUI should be pushing IE to redeploy the cut service to where a need can be shown rather than simply "vanish" it.

For instance, send the 2027 arr ex Limerick Junction express to Carlow and back. At a stroke, you extend the "last train" Waterford-Dublin AND Dublin-Waterford by two hours, and if the LJ arrival could be reliably accelerated maybe even stop in Kilkenny.
