I was on the 13:40 ex Rosslare today and we ran about 5-10 minutes late into Dun Laoghaire. We were about 10 minutes late leaving Enniscorthy (no reason given) and never quite made up the time. The train is a mix of 2 x 2600 and 4 x 2800 and seemed to have a bit of a problem when pulling out of stations. We must have rolled 10-15 feet back towards the tunnel in Enniscorthy before there was enough power to move forward. At the other stations there was no such backwards roll but there was noticeable revving of the engines.
