There seems to be a few problems tonight.

A maynooth bound train has just left pearse at 19.26. looking like that is the 18.59 pearse maynooth (given that the 19.29 pearse maynooth doesn't run on a saturday)

The 19.10ish pearse drogheda is starting from connolly tonight.

I havent heard any announcements any idea what is going on ?

The bloody steam train is back, causing all kinds of trouble at Pearse

It's a disgrace that IE run these kind of heritage operations on the Dublin commuter network, the area from Greystones-Drogheda-Maynooth-Kildare should be protected from these kind of rieiculous excursions, especially at peak times when the rails are busy with fare-paying commuters. Dubln Commuter passengers contribute most in fares to IE's income, they should not be delayed for unnecessary reasons like this.

How much do these excursions pay for track access?

I happened to be going into town on the night in question, a bloody dart had problems with its doors in Tara street station, delayed the dart I was on coming from Shankill. The girlfriend was not to happy having told her I'd meet her in town at at half seven!

Saw that steam engine train on my way in, seemed to be sitting out of the way, Landsdowne road I think it was. The cousin brought her kids on it a few years back, apparently they get to see Santa on it, oh to be a kid again.
