7.18 Drogheda to Bray - late again

Unshelved · 16-10-2007, 08:38

This train has been 10-15 minutes late every day for the last two weeks. No explainations from IR Staff but it's really starting to annoy me.

Anyone know what's going on?

It was a little over 10 minutes late this morning

Question is where does it lose time, at which point does it go from being ontime to being late? If we knew that it would be easier figure it out

Yeh, I was delayed by this service again this morning. It arrived into Skerries 5-10 mins late, and of course having missed it's slot between Howth Junction + Connolly crawled along. By the time it left Connolly, the following 08.28 arrival from Dundalk was arriving in. Total delay = 13-14 mins.

Twelve minutes late getting into Pearse again today. It was on time from Skerries and there didn't seem to be any major delays with people boarding at other stations - I don't know what's causing it.

Needless to say there were no announcements/explainations from IR either.

Incidentally the 18.15 from Pearse to Drogheda was a short train again yesterday. An announcement and an apology were made but no explaination was offered.

Was it? I heard that announcement as well but the inbound train was eight carriages long and i thought not sure that the 18.15 was eight carriages long. Might be wrong but it looked like it was

It was short, I was waiting for my train and the front of the Drog train was not full but the last two carriages were jammed as it went by.
