I would like to suggest a new 06:00 service from Dublin Heuston to Cork Kent with a connecting service arriving at Limerick Junction from Limerick. These services would allow passengers from Dublin and Limerick to arrive in Cork before 9am.
A suggested timetable is listed below. I do not believe it would conflict with any existing or proposed train paths.
| DUBLIN Heuston | 06:00 | |
| Portlaoise | 06:46 | |
| Thurles | 07:15 | |
| LIMERICK (Colbert) | 07:00 | |
| Limerick Junction | 07:30 | 07:35 |
| Charleville | 07:59 | |
| Mallow | 08:14 | |
| CORK (Kent) | 08:45 |
