[27-5-2007] 15:00 Bel - Dub & 18:00 Dub - Bel

Enterprise set 9001 was declared unserviceable in Belfast with an electrical fault, and the 6 coach C3K set was used instead.

Needless to say first class and catering went missing.

IE and Translink should seriously consider getting rid of the DBE 9X series of railway stock. They should be replaced by refurbished MKIII's! Could also increase no. of trains per day plus additional reserve stock. Might lead to a better service!.

The 18:00 Dublin Belfast arrived Drogheda at 18:28:30, that was the C3k. minute and a half early

The 19:00 Dublin Belfast arrived Drogheda at 18:32:30, that was the enterprise and it looked dreadful, sounded dreadful and was 2 and half minutes late

Both Mk3 citygold sets are meant to go over to Dublin Belfast

[James Shields]

The 19:00 Dublin Belfast arrived Drogheda at 18:32:30

28 mins before it left? That is making good time! Okay, you can hit me now.

Actually, 19:32 is fairly typical. 19:40 is not uncommon. Some days it seems to fly Connolly to HJ, while others it crawls. That's were most of the time seems to be lost or gained.
