Midleton Line Opening - with Buses

I do actually know the guy in charge of marketing

Its always a secret when there are extra Cobh line services on Sundays as well. Despite its troubles Cork actually seems to have sufficent independence to actually throw on extra local trains when the need arises. Thats where the problem lies its very last minute its only when we get a call or text to let us know and post on the site does management in Dublin know of the extra trains probably

Have you ever asked him what is with all the secrets like?

Some notice would be perfect like! I was on the 14:15 yesterday and it was well packed for Fota!

Yeah, fair play to Cork for the extra services. Next Sunday is an example of that!

Extra trains is service plannings call not marketing, marketing is fares and ticketing.

The business development manager in Cork likes to go it alone, I know the Midleton Food Festival was on the list of 'you gonna need more trains'.

We do our best to relay the information, but even we don't know all the time. Simplest thing is - if cruise ship in Cobh -> extra trains
