There are a few spots you end up stopped at for a while, they are well known and the reason why is also well known, I get stuck outside Lansdowne Rd regularly everyone knows its either the level crossing or a train 50m ahead

On the trek back from Thurles last week we pulled up at Ballybrophy (actually a field 300m away), 3 minutes later PA wakes up and informs us clearly what is going on, it was advertised engineering works no worries

I have to say the intercity operation tends to be quite forthcoming with a timely PA with useful information which is made the more impressive as the driver has to tell the guard who tells the train.
