100% of trains on the Dublin-Westport Line ran as planned
What is this supposed to mean?
1) They ran it with trains and not bicycles. 2) None of the trains accidentally went to Galway or something. or does it mean that IÉ planned to have it arrive late at Tullamore anytime I was on it, only have a trolley service on days when I had a full breakfast before leaving the house, have the heat turned on in summer and no heat in winter (only on trains I was on) I read it on the poster that has been put in Tullamore station to celebrate 92% of trains on this route arriving (somewhere) on time. I know that this has been discussed at length elsewhere and in the passenger issues section of the home page (http://www.platform11.org/passenger_issues/not_getting_there.php) but it puts my blood pressure up every time I see it. Padding and very creative statistics. I'd like to see what the "margin of error" is. |
Limerick gets the same 100% all ran
All ran means all trains ran according to the service IE planned so it excludes engineering works also even if the train breaks down it still left the terminus Its really hard not to get 100% Cork won't for Q4 2006 or Q1 2007 Take a look http://www.railusers.ie/members/ie_mou, the long sought after agreement between IE and the DoT |
but "according to the service IE planned" could be anything?

not that difficult to get 3 trains to run on time tho really,
