The announcments on this MK3 operated service were unusually good. They were made by a lady with an English accent who spoke slowly, clearly and understandably. She provided even provided information about bus connections, car park locations, taxi rank locations etc when we arrived at Heuston.

The announcements from the dining car on the other hand were not great. The guy kept blowing into the microphone and the there was a terrible buzzing noise over the speech like something was short circuiting / grounding in the mic itself.

Certain IE staff seem to feel that they need to blow into or tap the mic everytime they use it. It sound absolutely aweful.
