One major delay can be avoided by clearing all DART trains clear of the path of Connolly-Rosslare services. 2 weeks ago, I got the train to Bray looking forward to breezing past the intermediate stations. Unfortunately, a DART was allowed to arrive and leave in Connolly before departure, and we spent the entire journey being dictated to by the pace of the slower DART. Then there was the inevitable hold-up outside Bray, and the train eventually arrived in Bray 10 minutes late. There's no excuse for that.
I totally agree.I would be happy if the DART would leave Connolly and the Rosslare train would leave seconds behind it.After the DART got to Grand Canal Dock it would stop.There would be a Northbound DART at Pearse.The Rosslare train would arrive on the Southbound platform at Pearse and leave Pearse and changing over on the wrong track passing Grand Canal Dock platform with the DART on the main southside side.Rosslare would simply pass it out and cross back over before Lansdowne Rd.Giving it a chance to for shorter times. I think everyone says the same about the Rosslare train the slowness of it
