4-11-2006 Another day another mess
So the 11:00am Dublin Cork, set 4001
Left 12 minutes late, reason given at 11:04 was need to perform a safety function, they had 40+ minutes to do that Train made up time and arrived Thurles 2 minutes down and we did actually make 100mph, seat res worked, pa was correct but the maps where not working correctly. Ride was better than in the past but still poor So to the 7:30pm Cork Dublin, set 4002 This was mean't to be a Mk3 so seat reservations didn't work Train left Thurles 7 minutes down arrived 9 minutes early (note this trend). Seat res totally failed, pa was correct but the maps where not working correctly. Ride was noticeably better than in the past borderline ok. The fun while waiting I spoke to two other passengers the usual its late and seat reservations won't work. So ready to march down to coach A, a Mk4 appears in the distance I knew seat reservations where not working, so the 3 intepid travellers having seats in coach A followed me and boarded coach A the first class coach, looked a bit goofy and asked the train manager We went first class to Dublin and reclining seats and in seat audio oh yes almost makes up for it Oh and the seat reservations failed on the 9am Dublin Cork as well and it left 15 minutes late no reason given. The 7pm Dublin Cork (4001) was a good 12 minutes late leaving Thurles. Last edited by Mark Gleeson : 05-11-2006 at 00:01. |

On the 4th Nov, on the Maynooth Line, the 1015 Maynooth Pearse was cancelled for no reason.
