I was on the 06:15 service from Cork to Heuston this morning
Just as the doors were closing in Cork, there was a power failure on board. Lights came back on almost immediately, but other systems seemed to take a while to come back.
As a result, we left about 15 minutes late.
We seemed to make back a bit of the time by Limerick Junction, but some slow bits between Port Laoise and Dublin led to us arriving in Heuston 15 minutes late.
Free tea/coffee and pastries were given out. I assume this was delay related, but that weas never said. While not complaining, it would seem a bit of an over-reaction to a 15 minute delay!
Otherwise, the information about booked seats disappeared before arriving into Mallow, leading to people occupying seats that were booked from Limerick Junction onwards.
The ride was the worst that I have experienced from a CDE set.
