Arrow 13.05 Dublin/Rosslare (Best Service) Do You Agree?

Congratulations to Iarnrod Eireann on this service. It is without doubt the fastest and the best InterCity like service. It has the highest priority out of the 3daily services to Rosslare. The last DART train leaves @12.45 to Bray which gives 20minutes to the Rosslare train service not crawling to Dun Laoghaire and on to Bray. Total time from Pearse to Dun Laoghaire was 10mins & Bray 14mins giving Connolly-Bray 29mins.The train departs Wicklow @14.07 and has to travel to Arklow for the meeting of the up train ex Rosslare and at the same time there is a train which departs Gorey @14.10 arriving into Arklow @14.25 at that time the 13.05 ex Connolly would have departed Rathdrum @14.20 and literally flyies to Arklow giving it 13-15minsarriving @14.35 then departs Arklow for Gorey the meeting of the 14.48 ex Gorey to Maynooth @14.37 and arrives BANG ON TIME. Passengers who make the journey daily will know from experenice the Rosslare line is called DAMM SLOW & LAZY but the 13.05 is without doubt the exception. All Rosslare services should be an example of the 13.05 service.
