To me (struggling badly with delays on Sligo line for a month now) there appears to be little point in having a service if it is going to be closed or seriously delayed for a month each year.

It is quite normal for service to have a bad month in the autumn - it was much worse with leaf-slip on the old locomotive services but this year is taking the proverbial.
i would agree with you james with regards to the flooding but we are talking of an extraordinary weather event. Look at what happened in galway , cork i was looking at pictures of carrickonshannon that was record rainfall met eireann admitted.

With regards to the wheelslip i agree its getting beyond a joke the train should be hosed every day at this time
