Default Cork-Kinsale bus route to start from Kent Station

While the latest timetable change from Bus Eireann seems more about merging the Cork-Cork Airport and Cork-Kinsale bus routes for a bit of operational efficiency, it has the consequence of a bit of public transport integration with Cork-Kinsale buses starting from Kent Station and Kinsale-Cork buses terminating there.

The bus to Kinsale will depart between 15 and 30 minutes after the arrival of the Dublin train, while the train to Dublin will depart 25 minutes after its arrival (with the exception of the 08:00 train, where there's a tight squeeze of 5 minutes).

One thing that could be worth noting is that some trains from Dublin (15:00, 16:00, 17:00) will arrive into Kent just as a bus is leaving for Cork Airport, forcing any passengers to hang on for half an hour. This might be something to make representations about to either Irish Rail or Bus Eireann. The ideal would be to take 5-10 minutes off the arrival time from Dublin...
