Arrow WOW!!!

Wow has the Enterprise failures, Reading the threads on this service I thought that this was a really puntical service but like every service it has its ups and downs. I wish that Iarnrod Eireann wouldnt have so many extra minutes on every service. The last time I travelled on Enterprise was last year and it was the greatest train and service in all of Ireland. The inside just wow nice and comforable and dark a rich kind of feeling. Iarnrod Eireann and NIR just dont get on do they. The onboard staff are so polite and well dressed. The announcements are clear with your Good Afternoon and we hope to see you again soon. Belfast Central is a really nice station towards Connolly and Hueston. You have a carpet at Belfast with the Enterprise on it, Its a nice station. Small but nice..........

I dislike those automated announcements.

A few times the Enterprise has been late and then gets stuck behind a DART so has to travel from Howth Junction at 10mph all the way in, compounding the misery.

You find yourself 30 minutes late and an automated voice comes on to say "We would like to apologise for the late arrival of this service", knowing full well that the train manager has simply pushed a button in response to the late arrival but that nobody cares anyway.

Being 30 minutes late = 25% refund

Howth Jnct. to Connolly at 10m.p.h.. Thats just plain stupid, Why doesnt the Dart wait. I really dont care how far the Dart is ahead the Enterprise should be first to enter that slot..

Up to 1400 people on the DART, less than 400 on the Enterprise

1400 on the Dart, I didnt think it would be that many. No wonder it was allowed on.. Thanks for that.
