Got to love this, given there is no access to Manulla Junction to the public what use is a stop there? There is no connecting train from Ballina

One would wonder did they just forget to put in the ballina connection and with a little hint (visit a website or two! ) will they fix that!

The Ballina shuttle train is idle and could make the connection

Is it just me or is there a difference between the notice times and the actual times in the timetable?

I suspect the timetable is wrong - unless the train proposes to arrive at 09.27.01 and depart before 09.27.59 at Claremorris for instance.

"Whaddya mean 3 bus loads of us can't arrive 32 seconds before the train is due to depart?"
