I'm not saying it would justify it, I'm saying it's the sort of thing that would happen in CIE.

The bus timetable from Cork to Crosshaven is still based on the rail timetable of the Cork, Blackrock and Passage Railway that closed in 1932. It also explains why Cork's bus commuter tickets cover far further to the South-East of the city than any other direction.
