Most confusingly, it technically does not. Inbound/outbound town-UL it stops a a block away from the station. If you want to to be dropped outside you have to wait for it to go down through town and it stops at the station when heading to/from raheen.

0615 from Cork had about 80 passengers, 0832 from Newbridge somewhere between 60 and 90 passengers in a six car ICR. 0845 from Kildare had a similar load, this time in a three car ICR.

These 3 trains are my biggest problem with IE in the mornings. The inbound service for the 08.45 at Kildare holds up the 07.10, the 6.15 form Cork is always 10 minutes late passing Newbridge which delays the 6.35 from Galway 10 minutes which results in the 08.32 departing 5-10 minutes late everyday which means the 07.10 has a 40mph crawl to Celbriudge with all signals orange before it can overtake the 08.32. The Cork timetable needs to be sorted as Limerick J seems to be the problem if real time is correct. If you lucky they will they will delay the 08.32 at Newbridge until the 07.10 passes but that only happens the odd day. Compare this to a Saturday and it could be 10-15 minutes early in Heuston with not 08.32 service but it does have to wait for the 09.00 to Cork to depart everyday before it can arrive on plt5.
