Excuse the ignorance but if there are no works at hazelhatch would it not be prudent and a great training exercise for the new setup to terminate trains going out of heuston at hazelhatch and run bus substitutions from there? Surely the carpark is big enough?

How come?

I remember you mentioning one of the mornings services in and out of heuston were halted and you stated services should have been run to and from hazelhatch. How could this be done?

No crossovers in the area?

Also can the new setup not be used?

The current track layout in Hazelhatch does not allow for terminating trains, the old one did as will the new one when it goes live later this year
