I did actually acknowledge the impact at the other side of the timetable. Nevertheless, it should be possible to deal with it by removing the padding. Last time I used the service, it was scheduled to take 20 minutes from Ramsgrange to Wellingtonbridge; it took about 12.

That morning bus doesn't go the slow route, but it does allow 50 minutes to get from Bridgetown to New Ross, which seems excessively generous, even allowing for the lower speeds on a bus and picking up passengers in Wellingtonbridge.
