Is it the fact that the train takes nearly 3 hours to reach the Third World station at Rosslare? Whoopee for Iarnrod Eireann!!  |

Looks like the 13:05 will be forwarded to 13:30/35 for the new timetable btw |
Believe me I hate those Commuter like DART trains on the line to. I hate the length of time it takes and I hate that IE are going back to the old 13.30/35 way just change every single detail including the timetable for this line.
We are the customers who use the train every weekend shouldn't we have a say in the way the new timetable is going to be. They should ask the public more often especially for this line. If they asked me I would say I hate every detail of the trains and the slow-ness between not just Connolly/Bray but also it depends on the driver you get as wired as that sounds
.
IE should have a new approach for the line have 3services to Rosslare, 2 to Wexford (Which I hope they will do) and 2 to Gorey. Have the timetable not 13.
35 or 18.
35 but 13.10 and 19.10 something that looks new and looks faster on paper and reality.
I am against everything on this line but that 13.05 service should be an example for InterCity like standard.
