![]() As expected chaos on the Dublin Cork, we knew the Mk4 coaches couldn't hack it
The 17:00 failed in the platform and was dragged away since room was needed for another arrival 18:00 to Cork was cancelled since the set timetabled for the 18:00 ran the heavily delayed 17:00 (as in 30+ minutes) Passengers of the 18:00 transferred to 18:35 to Tralee changing at Mallow to reach Cork. 18:35 is reported as filling rapidly No notice on IE site Last edited by Mark Gleeson : 15-01-2007 at 19:38. |

![]() To make matters worse the 14:30 out of Cork was held in Inchicore for about 10 minutes
Why Irish Rail have an obsession with platform 5 in Heuston As a result passengers for the 17:00 had an extra 10 minutes delay |

![]() Absolutely everyone who hasn't used them (and even some who have) seem to think that they're high speed simply because they're new and pointy.
It's amazing what a point on the end will do for PR! |
