well thats that then, stuck with the old "reliable" enterprise. Friday and Monday now, the 7:31 enterprise from drogheda to belfast has left late. I believe its new time is 7:45 departure, friday it left at about 9:20 and yesterday it left drogheda at 8:40, infact, it had not even arrived from belfast before it was even due to depart drogheda!!
