Default 28/1/08 06.00 Gorey To Dublin Connolly

Another great morning for the 06.00 train. I boarded the train at 05.55 and settled down for the journey. Six O clock passed and no movement from the train. The Arklow to Rosslare harbour sat on the opposite platform its driver was out looking down at the side of his train.

Shortly after the driver of the 06.00 train came on the PA. Due to a problem with the Rosslare train everyone was to get off our train as it was now to be sent to Rosslare!!

Our former train departed for Rosslare while all Dublin bound passangers had to wait on the platform while the train crew attempted to fix our "new" train.

The train finally left Gorey at 06.41 with only 3 out of the 4 carrages in use. With the train now running over 40 min late many passangers who turned up for the Rosslare to Dundalk now packed into the train. By Rathdrum many people were standing. At Wicklow the driver announced the this was the 06.00 train and that the other train was only 15 min behind this train with plenty of room but to no avail. The train was jammed leaving Wicklow.

No reason other than a carrage fault was given for the back carrage being locked out of use. The train finally got into Connolly just after 08.40.
