I was on the 16:50. Coach transfer to Drogheda went pretty smoothly, but the Enterprise didn't show until 17:45 and didn't leave until 17:55. There were further delays on the route like a door not closing at Newry and having to wait for Platform 1 at Portadown which brought the delay up to around 45 mins.
Not sure if the limited Enterprise sets north of the border can cope with what seems like a very tight timetable. Mark, is there any need to bring in a 6 car CAF set into the equation to improve punctuality? Passengers at Newry were pretty annoyed to be kept waiting for so long this evening, and I wasn't pleased but not surprised that there was no local connection waiting at Portadown
