Rail network schedules

All change?

Sir, – Further to “Faster trains and expanded schedules announced across Irish Rail network” (News, December 4th), while I welcome the extra services announced to and from Carlow, what about the rest of the line between Waterford and Carlow? We need more trains as well. Not to mention that the last train leaving Heuston Station in Dublin for anywhere south of Carlow is 6.35pm (Monday to Saturday) and for Carlow is somewhere around 8.30pm (Monday to Friday). Is there any chance Irish Rail could put on later services to us rural dwellers attend the theatre, sports events kicking-off at or after 5pm or any other evening event? – Yours, etc,
