Rumours and the like tend to end up with the original message ("Send reinforcements we're going to advance") being corrupted (to "Send three and force pence, we're going to a dance").
Ahh chinese whispers, brings back memories!

I feel so old!

Started off with someone having a pint last night and finished up with them being an alcaholic and drug addict (alcohol is a drug). The stuff you'd add on!

From what I have heard the weekday evening departures from Dublin will be 1630 to Wexford 17.30 to Wexford and 18.30 to Rosslare. The 18.30 will still be the last train of the day The proposed 17.00, 18.00 and 19.00 times have been dropped as it appears IE received a number of complaints about changing the 1640 and 1725 departures.

Three trains going to Wexford the line is to quite for that. Iarnrod Eireann needs to change the face of the Rosslare line. I would like to know how IE received complaints about changing the departure times when I never heard of anything. I first of heard of it was on Tuesday 27sep will be the published timetable date. The new timetable isnt even out so how could people be complaining. Sorry wobbles I know you just heard it..

Would people like to see the timetable stay the way it is now or vote for a change!!

Default possible political intervention

keith i have to say that while its still all speculation, I wouldn't be dismissing wobbles report too quickly!

The people of Mullingar will vouch for that. that a small number of people that travel south of pearse to mullingar complained to their local westmeath elected representative about the 17:28 Bray Longford being cut back to Maynooth or Enfield. The elected respresentative got onto CIE and the plans were ultimately shelved. (Don't forget the 18:05 Connolly Longford express is there)

The benefit for Mullingar passengers would have been a train home after 21:00hrs.

Be aware and be very careful, its all well and good people complaining but if they go to their elected representatives its more likely the plans are shelved, so keep an eye on this!
