Firstly the roof works were needed, its a 160 year old roof the improvement on station is fantastic its bright and airy. The pa problem has been brought to the attention of IE management, we have heard no change. Why so many off peak trains use P6/7/8 has also been queried, lots of excuses no action

The 17:30 ex Limerick AC was working its just that it can't cope with temperatures above about 27 degrees, most of the Midlands was 29 ish yesterday. Actually switching off the AC in these conditions would cool things down

If you arrived Limerick more than 1 hour late you are entitled to a refund http://www.platform11.org/passenger_...hp#their_fault this still applies even if you missed the connection as a result

The 11:00 Dublin Cork has been causing trouble. Since July 11th it has been rostered for a CDE set, on the 11th the driver refused to take it out claiming he wasn't trained. The set enters service from Dublin so there are no excuses for it to be late. If the train had a fault the old set which is sitting idle would be used

Little point in complaining to IE since you get a shallow apology, should be able to find out exactly what went wrong in a day or so
