New timetable is a disaster on my route anyway. I sometimes stay with my parents and commute to Dublin. The train I usually take into Dublin had its scheduled time moved back 10 minutes or so, and was moved a further 3 minutes back again in an attempt to alleviate delays. Despite it being that much earlier in the morning, it arrives in Dublin several minutes after its original scheduled time.
There is also a 30 minute gap in trains during the morning rush hour and the train after my usual one had its scheduled time moved forwards by 5 minutes, sacrificing those precious few minutes and rendering it effectively useless for people to get to the office for 9am. That means everyone is forced to pile onto my usual train and arrives in work early. Seems like a bit of shitshow to accommodate an hourly Belfast service that, from my point of view, is of far less utility.
What are the odds they’ll be late for that meeting?
So why new timetable in the first place if it results in a shit show?
My response would be ‘dear useless government representatives, please build the metro, thanks’. Cos this is what you get when you continuously under invest or invest in wrong places when it comes to public transport. FF/FG have been in power in one form or another for the last century and have done fuck all for major PT infrastructure besides the DART in the 80’s and Luas in the 2000’s. They still tried to backtrack on the limited bus priority on the quays during the summer sure!
Irish Rail needed to implement the new timetable to accommodate the hourly Belfast-Dublin trains. There is no scope for expansion due to the limited land available along the corridor and especially around the city centre and Connolly (great forward planning by the government there) The only other way they could squeeze more trains in would be to remove level crossings, which motorists and NIMBY’s obviously won’t wear.
