Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Rail Timetables: Iarnród Éireann
1:30 pm
Mr. Jim Meade:
Public consultation has been and will continue to be a big part of the process. The lesson we learned from that is we need to flesh out the detail for each route and point people to where the changes are, as opposed to just putting out a complete timetable. People are busy and they do not all get time to get a look at the timetable. They probably have a quick look at their own train and if it looks okay, on they go or they make a comment. The big lesson for us in that is when we make a big structural change like that we need, by line or route, to be highlighting what the changes are what it means, that is an interchange and that times are moving. Maybe there should be more data going out in a more focused manner. Rather than a general public consultation to everybody, we will do a more focused consultation by line or route.
