Default What is going on on the northern line?

even with leaving 5 minutes earlier the 6.30 Dundalk to Bray has not once made Pearse at its scheduled time, in fact for the last week is up to 20minutes delayed, even today with the weather improving! before xmas it managed to be at Connolly on time but couldn't reach Pearse before 8.07 monday to friday and recently it seems to be stuck at clontarf road and doesn't reach Connolly until between 8.00-8.07 then spends up to 5 minutes between Connolly and Tara St

I could blame weather and ice but this morning didn't look that bad?? Anyone know why?

Where does the delay start

It should leave Malahide at 7:34

The 6:30 in turn delays the 7:37 Malahide - Dun Laoghaire which delays the 8:37 Dun Laoghaire Connolly (and leaves me standing and late)

Before Xmas the delay was always at connolly. Since Xmas between howth jct and Connolly. Arrives at howth jct on time but then crawls to connolly, stopping at clontarf rd for between 3-5 minutes.

Since the timetable has changed we haven't arrived on any service I have been on (Mon-Fri). This service is also randomly making stops at Howth Junction when it's not timetabled to do so!

The 06.30 is not timetabled to stop in printed one but is on the online timetable!!
This morning it was 3 mins late at Connolly and stopped again between Connolly and tara st presumably because of another train in front?

What does "delay" represent? It seems to be inconsistant.
