Delays to DART & Commuter services by Corporate Communications

Thursday 8th December 17.05hrs

Delays of up to 15mins to DART & Commuter services in both directions due to low rail adhesion.

Iarnród Éireann apologises for any inconvenience caused.

This excuse is wearing a bit thin at this stage - I wouldn't have thought there are too many leaves left. DART appears to be remarkably sensitive -a bit of wind, rain or snow and bingo the whole show is instantly 15 to 20 minutes late.

Yeah, I just felt the need for a bit of a rant on the subject so I started a new thread. I am sick and tired of it as this stage but well used to it.

For some reason, shutting everything down for 2 days of Christmas fixes everything because everything usually returns to normal in the new year.
