![]() 22/10/2007 - Train was 1/2 hour delayed by the time it reached Carlow.
No reason given for the delay. However, In Carlow the manager organised free Tea/Coffee from the station shop for delayed passengers. |

![]() I asked the ticket checker, and he said it was because the gate-keeper (somewhere near Waterford) didn't show up. Again.
In the last 6 working days, this service has reached Athy an average of 20 minutes late (best was 7 minutes late, worst was 36 minutes late), and reached Heuston an average of just over 12 minutes late (best was 3 minutes early, the only early arrival, and worst was 25 minutes late). In other words, there has been a total delay on arrival at Heuston of 76 minutes in just 6 days. Pathetic. |

However, the manager responsible for the Waterford gatekeeper should be fired (along with the mythical gatekeeper!) for not taking responsibility for the resolution of this ongoing issue. ![]() |

![]() Folks,
The kind people at the Kildare Nationalist are going to do a article on what we are going through as commuters. I have been forwarding as much correspondance that I have on the issue, but as I do not get the train everyday I might be missing a lot of the crucial info. Would appreciate if you could drop them an email detailing your experiences, as we all know that there is a huge amount of people affected by what IE are doing and we need to show some people power! aoife.barry@kildare-nationalist.ie Cheers all! |
