07:43 Portlaoise to Heuston

[Ron Burgundy]

Since this train started as part of the new timetable there have been delays 4 out of the 5 mornings this week.

The train is late into Portarlington for a start, gets to Kildare and sits there for 10 to 15 mins with no announcments.

Cork train goes through on the centre track and another 3 carriage as well. About 5 mins later it takes off again.

Its getting into Heuston 12 to 13 mins late which is a complete joke for a train from Portlaoise.

This needs to be looked at as this delay is one a once off and it seems to be done to allow other trains through in Kildare with no apologies or reason given by staff on the train or in the station.
