The classification as cancelled only seems to apply if

1. The train didn't actually run
2. That someone noticed
3. Irish Rail couldn't blame someone else

If a train skips a station, doesn't reach its destination or breaks down enroute the train did run but to the passenger it was cancelled and would be classified as cancelled by any normal railway

Case in point was the 16:55 Greystones Howth yesterday, it ran but didn't stop at Blackrock and several other stations, but will it be recorded as cancelled?

We have seen 100% reliability published only to have a list of cancelled trains
