The 12:40 arrived 1hr 30mins late into Ballina yesterday. By the time the 17:55 from Ballina got to Manulla we were waiting for about 20mins, no announcements (Well there isn't a PA system there anyway!) for the Westport train to arrive. Stopped at a level crossing outside Castlerea, no announcements either. Crossed the downtrain at Knockcroghery, that was late too. Further delay at Tullamore, this time we had 2 announcements, this was due to a signalling problem apparently. At this stage the train was 30mins late but made it to Heuston only 10mins late. Appology over the PA on arrival.

Any reason why atleast 3 services were delayed yesterday?
