Reduction in Irish Rail Services in Carlow
Co Carlow Chamber has contacted Irish Rail seeking a restoration of
14.50 (Waterford) to 17.06 (Heuston) Newbridge stop required.
16.50 (Waterford) to 19.25 (Heuston)
We forwarded a petition from users of this service but unfortunately we have been unable to have the service restored.
Any reduction in transport services is a serious blow to the County and we will continue to campaign to have full services restored.
If you have any employees affected by these changes we would like to hear from you.
Please email me at ceo@carlowchamber.com
