Not quite sure what happened this morning. Arrived at Killester a few minutes early for the 09.29 southbound Dun Laoghaire train. Platform display read:
1 Dun Laoghaire 12 minutes
2 Connolly 16 minutes

After about 3 minutes, an in-service DART, about half full, with "Dun Laoghaire" on the front, went through at full speed. The platform display then changed to 1 Bray 9 minutes
2 Connolly 13 minutes

No explanation offered as to why the Dun Laoghaire train decided to skip Killester. And the display behaviour was just confusing.

Can chalk that up as a cancellation under the 'failure to operate as planned'

The posters claim 100% but we are discovering proof that they are hiding cancellations

Sometimes in the case of serious delay.

They did it when there was a riot on a Sunday afternoon in Salthill. The subject train skipped about 3 stops, with passengers for those stops advised to get the next train.

I got 8 arrests. :)

Thought of that, but would have expected (ok, hoped for) some kind of anniouncement.
