Irish Rail's computer system has gotten very confused, the 15:20 has departed three times, 15:21, 16:30 and 16:35

Confirmed its actually in motion to Belfast this time, 76 minutes late

It arrived on time! I decided that given that it was late for the last two days that I'd get the 14.45 to Dundalk today! Oh and yesterday they changed the engine!

On the timing front. I noted on the display yesterday that trains were being marked as arrived 2 minutes after they actually arrived according to the display. Eg the Drogheda-bray was marked as arrived 15.32 but the display time on all clocks stated 15.29?

Different parts of the system have different times. While one can understand up to a minute, you can often see 3-4 minute differences on various clocks or displays within the same station.
