feast or famine

[tigger1962]

I knew the extra train put on at 7.50 from dundalk was too good to last supplementing the Enterprise at 7.57. this morning dundalk commuters were brought back to earth with a bang! Not only was the extra service removed but when the Enterprise arrived on time at 7.57 - it was 2 carriages short!!! Many people at Dundalk were standing but at Drogheda the train became a cattle wagon - normal i suppose for many commuters on the northern line but you'd think that Translink/Iarnrod Eireann. What really bugs me is that if Iarnrod Eireann seem to be able to run a commuter service 5 minutes before the Enterprise why don't they keep it up or was this morning revenge for the Greens holding the transport post!! That and the enterprise still managed to keep 2 First Class carriages on the shortened train!
