Sure contact Taxsaver and they can either refund or swap

Timetable is notorious for errors so check if its really the case

What! The timetable will be in operation next week and it's not correct at this stage. Now we really have the worst (Rail) Transport System in Europe.

For Ballybrophy to Park West the online timetable has me down as follows:

06:50 Ballybrophy
07:30 Kildare
07:44 Kildare ( this train originates from Portlaoise 07:20 )
08:23 Park West

However, why isn't the following showing up?

06:50 Ballybrophy
07:04 Portlaoise
07:20 Portlaoise
08:23 Park West

Mark - any ideas?

Changed at Portlaoise this morning, 15 mins waiting time, no platform change at Portlaoise or Kildare.

Only reason I can think of why it is not offered as an option on Irish Rail Online Timetable is because the train from Limerick (stopping at Ballybrophy) is Intercity whereas the 7:20 from Portlaoise is Commuter. Still makes no sense.

How about 14min stopover at Kildare vs 16mins at Portlaoise?

The real question is which station is better equipped for a stopover. Kildare P2 is quite poor; don't know about Portlaoise.
