![]() The platform notice had Belfast Central instead of Sligo.
Train had Sligo One traveller looked rightly confused as he didn't know to go to platform 2 or platform 3 (17.15 Connolly - Longford was there). |

![]() I was on the 9:05 AM Connolly-Sligo yesterday (Wed, Jan 27th) and it was a 29k
![]() Incidentally, what's going on with the line around Enfield? I saw lots of men in orange hi-vis vests at the lineside and I think (not always possible to tell with the newer trains) that the line was jointed. |

![]() This is an utter disgrace. How can you have those 29ks on an InterCity journey is beyond me. Certainly not fit for purpose and false advertising. A passenger intending to travel from Dublin to Sligo would expect an InterCity train. Is that too much to ask?
Still a shortage of 22ks? Come on Irish Rail, get your act together and give InterCity passengers InterCity trains for EVERY service Monday to Sunday please. |

![]() If they were re-laying track they might have laid new sleepers with some temporary jointed track to be followed later with CWR.

![]() Am I right in thinking that there is a 6-car set not available due to the derailment in Portaloise? Hence there is a shortage of 22000s on the network?
