Absolutely brilliant new timetable!! Very buzzed personally to see a much later 20:20 Heuston to Waterford service and a 20:20 Waterford to Heuston service in the evenings too! A great addition and one much needed by Waterford residents! No more day trips to the big shmoke being curtailed by the last train home at 18:25!!

A pre-09:00 arrival from Heuston into Galway is another great addition as well as two new Galway to Dublin services: 09:05 and 20:50!

Icing on the cake is hourly Enterprise services from October 7th too with services transferring to Grand Central on August 25th. The October 7th timetable will see clock-face xx:50 departures from Connolly to the north from 05:50 until 18:50 with a 20:50 evening service too. Unfortunately departures from Belfast are not exactly hourly clock-face departures (annoying for the OCD but a third world problem really… just would have been nice to have!) but are more or less on the xx:00 mark from 06:02 until 19:02 with a later 21:02. Worth nothing some services depart on the xx:00, some on the xx:02, and some on the xx:56. Pre-09:00 arrivals to both cities finally as well though!

Of note as well is the addition of half hourly Cork to Cobh and Midleton services on Saturdays too with an improved Sunday timetable, the official addition of Kishogue to the PPT timetable as well as some services starting from Connolly instead, and other minor timetable alterations around the network.

An excellent timetable change overall though and it’s great to see IÉ putting their money where their mouth is for their customers with stuff like this!
