Got to carlow station 2 minutes early this evening at 7.34, at 7.46 a train pulled in on the other platform and we pulled out straight away surprisingly, usually we sit there for at least another 5 minutes. When are IE going to tackle this problem? It's extremely frustrating!

Then we didn't reach muine bheag until 7.57 and didn't leave until 8.01.

I don't understand why at this point IE can't make a short announcement to say that due to delays at carlow because of ... this will have a knock on effect on the arrival time at waterford station, we now estimate our time of arrival as x. But I do know why they can't make an announcement like this, because this is IE and there will probably be additional delays
