Announcement on 7.18 Drogheda to Bray this morning

[Unshelved]

"Irish Rail wish to apologise for the late running of this train. This is because four engines on this heap have failed".

20 minutes late and only made it as far as Pearse. Heap indeed!

[Mark Gleeson]

I'll be talking to the man in charge of maintaining the 'heap' this afternoon

And I'll have to travel on the heap as well

[Rashers]

I was stuck on the one of the Drogheda services behind it. Delayed for about 15 minutes. No a single announcement on the train by either driver, via CTC on the platforms or by station staff in Connolly, Tara st or Pearse street.
I texted George Hook tonight, who had Mr Kenny on. George mentioned the lack of announcements as been one of the most regular complaints his show receives about IE.
Mr Kenny's response. ' we know we have work to do on it'...that's it??? It was the same reply 10 years ago. Millions of European taxpayers euro invested, and IE staff are too lazy too bother telling passengers what's going on
George let's him off way too easy

[Mark Gleeson]

Well the heap was under repair in Drogheda this afternoon, 2600 are troublesome

[KSW]

Those 2600's was that the train introuced on the Rosslare Service back in July 2003.

[Mark Gleeson]

Nope, times a 2600 has done Dublin Rosslare is still in single digits

you're probably referring to the 2700s thay are generally on the cork line now. they probably haven't been on the rooslare line much if atall since the "decouple" incident a few years ago.
