This has been a relatively trouble free leaf fall season to date, although Irish Rail continue to wheel out the leaf fall excuse for one operating screw-up after another. Last week was a pretty miserable week for DART and northern line commuter services exacerbated by the additional moves and shunts arising from the North Strand closure.
DART continues to be a really poor performer - travelled to Malahide last night from Pearse. The trip took just short of 38 minutes, an average speed of barely 15 mph which is sadly representative of what can be expected in the evening peak. The miserably slow DART operation is slowly strangling other services which have the mis-fortune to share the same tracks.
