I got the 5.06 from Dun Laoghaire to Drogheda yesterday - I got into Drogheda station at about 8.05. Yes 3 hourss!!! I took this train on the basis that IR said northbound trains were running normally during rush hour -I had presumed short delays - but this was stupid!
Everytime we stopped, we were told we would be moving shortly - until the announcements eventually stopped. 'Moving' in my eyes does not constitute moving about 2 inches in about 15 minutes!
IR would have been better off not running trains - as people on my train were standing for most of the journey.
Also, why couldn't Irish Rail have an agreement in place that Bus Eireann would accept tickets yesterday morning?
