The reservation system wasn't working
There where more staff in first than passengers.
No catering trolley to be seen, given one of the catering staff was camped in first doubt it was used.
3 miles north of Ballybrophy at the train host announced that there we would be shortly be stopping in Portarlington (no reason given). We where 21 miles away at the time. In the old days a guard was required to know where he/she was for safety reasons
The ride was absolutely dire all kinds of shakes and vibration like nothing I've seen before. As members will know I now carry some sensitive equipment to record the bumps so we can rubbish IE claims the ride is better
Despite a extra stop and 2 minutes outside Heuston we rolled into P4 at 22:09 a full 11 minutes ahead of time
