Was on the 19.25 Gorey to Connolly last night operated by 22001. Displays all working but the journey was so slow. It took the train 14mins to Arklow(19.39), 21mins to Rathdrum(20.00) another 14mins to Wicklow(20.14), Another 15mins to Greystones(20.29) 10mins to Bray(20.39), 20mins to Dun Laoghaire(20.59) then another 13mins to Pearse Station(21.12). I honestly have to say why on earth are the trains on this line so slow..

After the trainleft Gorey the announcements said L&G IE Welcomes you onboard this is the 20.05 from Enniscorthy to Dublin Connolly serving.... Then leaving Rathdrum an announcement said this train will be departing in approx 2mins(20.03) Im guessing as the train was set to 20.05

In my option the train from Gorey to Bray should take 1hr exactly rather than 1hr to Greystones. Then Bray to Connolly roughly 30-40mins.
