Default Autumn leaves and wheelslip

Its that time of the year again autumn . And the leaves and wheelslip problem is cropping up again.

On the 19:30 pearse maynooth train tonight and it is a bit of a problem.

At ashtown it was a bit of a problem two or three minutes and we were off again. At castleknock it was a bigger problem.

It literally took us four minutes to depart from the platform a further two minutes going at a snails pace and we were moving again.

Problem departing from coolmine as well but not as bad as castleknock.

Needs to be sorted or it could be causing problems. Wonder are the sligo trains the same problem?

Edit: same problem at clonsilla you could see the train struggling. In fact two or three minutes after the clonsilla platform cleared you could see the train in the distance.
