Timing Statistics - Page 3

I took a picture of the statistics poster for November and everybody's watches must have been fast because 87% of Sligo line trains were on time in November.

So we should all stop moaning and stop wasting their time - just like the nice lady from Iarnrod Eireann told me when replying to my complaint.

Thats interesting seeing as for the 5 days there were no train services to Sligo, with buses operating, due to the bridge replacement.

Then from the 18 November into December again there were no trains west of the Shannon, with buses operating, due to flooding.

Interesting to see the notice about the Sligo Line being reopened again disappeared in the last few hours.

0545 from Sligo arrived into Connolly at least 30 minutes late.

1905 from Connolly pretty typical.
As usual its arrival at Maynooth came as a complete surprise to Iarnrod Eireann so we were about 15 minutes late leaving Maynooth. Why they can't fix this timetable problem which is going back three years is beyond me. They could easily make the 1905 leave at 1915 without making the slightest difference to its arrival time anywhere.

He makes up almost all of the 15 minutes between Maynooth and Edgeworthstown thanks to ridiculous timetable padding but then spend another 10 minutes waiting for signal to get into Edgeworthsdown for a typical 2052 arriveal which should be 2036.

The 0545 from Sligo this morning arrived into Connolly only about 3 minutes late by my watch. That makes it the second train I've been on in the last month that meets IE's definition of being on time

810 ex Drumcondra was a full ten minutes late this morning and had Ballyhaunis on the front display - and no station announcements on board. The lateness may have been due to the non-stopping train heading for Clonsilla which naturally had....Maynooth on the front display.
