[5/10/2008] Longford Cancellations

[Mark Gleeson]

Sunday 5th October - Longford Service Cancellations by Corporate Communications

Iarnród Éireann advises passengers that due to operational difficulties, the following Longford services are cancelled on Sunday 5th October:

16.10hrs Pearse to Longford.

19.20hrs Longford to Connolly.

Iarnród Éireann apologises for any inconvenience caused.

Normally there is a bus to replace the 19:20 but this time no, which is a pain since it will really impact on a large number of students coming back into Dublin

I've noticed that IE (and NIR) use 'operational difficulties' an awful lot.

Can't they expand on it?

[Thomas Ralph]

Well, they can use the 20:15 instead; that'll be a 22K and more comfortable anyway.

However, the 1920 is still shown on the timetable search system, which is unhelpful.
