If travelling from further flung parts, e.g. Galway-Dublin (overnight Athlone) that makes sense if you **really** need to be at your destination at an early hour, but perhaps not on such a short journey when alternatives are available.

It also no longer shows some journeys where connections are not guaranteed

I think it would be useful if it did show them, but had a big red marker next to them saying the connection was doubtful. As it is, it allows an hour from Heuston to Connolly, which is so overly cautious as to be somewhat useless.
