keith i have to say that while its still all speculation, I wouldn't be dismissing wobbles report too quickly!

The people of Mullingar will vouch for that. that a small number of people that travel south of pearse to mullingar complained to their local westmeath elected representative about the 17:28 Bray Longford being cut back to Maynooth or Enfield. The elected respresentative got onto CIE and the plans were ultimately shelved. (Don't forget the 18:05 Connolly Longford express is there)

The benefit for Mullingar passengers would have been a train home after 21:00hrs.

Be aware and be very careful, its all well and good people complaining but if they go to their elected representatives its more likely the plans are shelved, so keep an eye on this!
