A new Irish Rail timetable comes into operation on Sunday, December 10. There are many positive aspects to the new timetable, including an early morning Dublin Heuston Cork service. Departure time Heuston is 06.00 and arrival time in Cork 09.35.
But why does the NTA not call together bus and rail companies and suggest they synchronise their timetables?
Two simple examples a Dingle Tralee bus arrives in Tralee at 15.03, the Tralee Dublin/Cork train departs Tralee at 15.05.
Bus Éireann operates one bus a week between Cloghane and Tralee. The bus runs on a Friday, arrives Tralee 11.15. The rail service from Tralee to Dublin/Cork departs 11.05.
If one asks Bus Éireann why this happens they are told Bus Éireann is a separate company to Irish Rail.
Joint up thinking would greatly help here.
