Dublin – The World’s Greatest City !!
Joe O asked:


In 1997 some train services from Cork would stop in Mallow, Charleville and Templemore and arrive in Dublin in a total time of 2h20 minutes. The same journey now takes 2h50 minutes? Why is this?

    Obviously the train is moving slower Einstein.

    because capacity on the line has increased (due to more freight etc since 1997) the train now needs to go slower for safety reasons. for example if traffic on a road were to double then obviously your journey time would increase. it is the same with railway lines

    Because there are a lot more leaves on the tracks these days thanks to the Greens and their tree planting policies.
