IE regularly just make up any old reason for a delay though..

I mean, I got off a MK3 in Heuston hours late after the CDE test train had hit a cow and the announcements in Heuston were appologising about the delay due to a derailment!

What was worse was the IE staff closed Heuston and left passengers stranded at a dark, dangerous and lonley taxi rank.

The very least they could have done was make sure taxis were informed!

I came down on a MK3 set, in a Cu na Mara coach 9PM ex Dublin. Speaking of suspension, there was a few mins somewhere between Kildare and Thurles (sorry I can't be more specific) where the ride was truely aweful. It was like the track had been damaged. The coach swayed violently back and forth. The rest of the trip was pretty much standard MK3 ride.

Just wondering if it could be in anyway linked to the suspension problem?
