[19-9-2006] Connolly Area

[Mark Gleeson]

We have reports of a points failure in the Connolly area

It seems to be effecting southbound services a lot more than northbound

As always nothing on the IE site

Funny thing was I was listening to 98FM at around 8.15am, and they had a text from a DART commuter delayed Northbound. The presenter also mentioned no information on AA Roadwatch site.
By the time my Drogheda service hit Pearse, it was 10-15 mins late. The PIS only mentioned delays to northbound DARTs which was incorrect.
Drivers made no attempt to tell the passengers what was happening...

I heard same notice but when I checked northbound trains they where on time well running normally right order within 3 minutes of time, thus I ignored it and was proven correct, nothing was up on the station board at 8:20 to indicate a delay

The problem was very definitely southbound

More delays inbound this morning - this time no information anywhere....by 9am running at 10 mins ..

Ryder cup specials fouling everything up?

[Mark Gleeson]

There are no extra trains for the Ryder Cup during the week, simply trains that normally run out of service to Maynooth being used

But they still manage to charge €20 for it... (yes, I know it includes a feeder bus, but that's just DB.. haha)

Such a scam, don't know how they get away with it.
