Any how...I think I've found the real reason as to why the 06:00 Cork to Dublin service is running late (albeit making Heuston on time).

I was told that a cross over point is being installed in Thurles.

Does anybody know if this is true? And if so, how long would something like that take?

Thanks.
Yes there is work on the southern approach to Thurles (near the old beet factory) although on its own this is unlikely to delay trains by more than a few minutes.

The new crossover will probably be installed this weekend, hence the line closure between Thurles and Limerick Junction.
