Are we back to the old days again??

[Kilkea]

This mornings 06.25 from Waterford was delayed again. I was at Athy waiting for it (due to arrive 07.37) and eventually got an announcement at 07.45 from the IE guy to say that it was only arriving in Bagnelstown and would be another 30 mins.I ended up in a big convoy to Kildare to try and catch the Portlaoise train there!
Why they could not have known that it was running this late earlier is beyond me. No reason why given but assume it was the infamous signals in Waterford again (same train was 25 mins late on Tuesday morning for that reason).
I went through several months last year complaining solid about the consistantly late trains but things had seemed to have improved so thought that the dark days were over, obviously not!
