I commute by DART from Killester to Blackrock every day. So far this year the average daily delay I've experienced is over six minutes. In four and a half months, I've lost nine and a half hours due to late DARTs. At this rate, I'll effectively have to work 3 extra days this year to make up for time lost due to unreliable trains. Of course, 90% of these aren't counted as late by IE
I used to think I was just unlucky with the particular train I get (which IE assured me two years ago had been identified as a problem train and would be solved in the next timetable change), but anytime I get a different one that seems to be delayed too. Maybe I'm just cursed.
If there was any way of driving there that didn't involve going through the city centre, I'd never take a DART again.
