Default [21-8-2006 to 25-8-2006] Nenagh Line

This notice only appeared this morning i.e. a day after the work began.

Usual warning that there may be a repeat next week but IE won't tell you

And guys at least I can spell Ballybrophy seemingly you can't

It wont, the bus is quicker. This revelation could be the death knell for the service.

Don't talk to me about buses being quicker. I caught the 10:30 bus from Portlaoise today because I was late for work yesterday catching the 11:23 train due to engineering works in Thurles according to the station annoucer in Portlaoise.

Anyhow The bus didn't get to Heuston until 12:20. Isn't that an awful long time for a 50 mile journey?

The bus is no quicker because it has to serve Cloughjordan. If Cloughjordan was eliminated the bus would cover Ballybrophy Limerick in 90 mins easy.

Shame IE are allowing the branch to slowly kill itself.

But should it not be encouraging that it's for track improvement works?
