Default [02-02-2007] 05:15 Cork Dublin

Train cancelled this morning as per the stationmaster in Portarlington.
We could have had a wait from 7.24 to 7.55 but an angry mob formed (well, an annoyed mob) and got them to stop the Portlaoise train that usually runs straight through Port.

No idea what happened the 5:15 but I got the 21.00 home last night from Heuston and we only boarded at 8.50 as IE staff hopped on and off and muttered into walkie talkies and girl went in and out with a laptop. So maybe the gremlins finally won.
And there was no catering service on the 21:00 'due to Staff shortages'. Maybe too much information there IE!

P.S. I sat in MarkG's seat

I did, under the seat and wall down the side, I didn't see anything and my partner nearly disowned me for being a geek.

EDIT - although maybe not the underside of the table, if it's chewing gum I'll find you....

Some of us already know what's to be found, and it is not an entirely pleasant experience. There are, of course, more than one CDE train......

We may award you with a funny logo if you taste the MarkG experience. Not necessarily stoned, but beautiful.

Little game here to prove the cleaners are not on the ball

Girl with laptop was most likely to do with the seat reservations they need to download the list onto a flash card which goes into the control panel in the buffet coach
