[4-3-2009] 5:45 Sligo Dublin
 

Due 8:48 arrived 9:12

It was held up by the 6.15 Longford - Pearse, which was 35 mins late getting to Mullingar due to brake failure, according to the very low volume announcement from the driver.

Arrived into Pearse at 9.00.

Everytime the 6:15 Longford Pearse fails there is chaos, As there are fairly huge passengers numbers on both that and the 7:50ish to connolly which is 4 carriages.

There is to much relying on the 6:15 I was hoping that that trains would be replaced by the earlier bird not the later one!

Any idea how bad the Maynooth line was this morning?

I was at the station in Maynooth this morning for the Inter-City train when 41 minutes late the 07:30 showed up.

That is a long delay for that service, something we will be pointing out soon in the policy doc, season ticket holders should be entitled to partial refunds for serious delays like that.

Generally there has been alot of trains delays since christmas I was on the 17:00 from Sligo to Dublin yesterday and the train was waiting 15 minutes for the 17:00 Dublin to Sligo no reason given
