Can these trial runs prove anything which cannot be learned from everyday operation? The 1700 Heuston-Cork is scheduled for 2h30m with two stops and the 0615 and the 0730 are scheduled for 2h30m (2 stops) and 2h30m (3 stops) respectively. Also I have seen the 0730 arrive in Heuston 5 minutes ahead of schedule. So the trial runs only confirm what we know: the existing express schedules are doable.
