Default 06:10 Waterford - Heuston - ongoing delays

One hour late this morning, due to signalling problems in Waterford.

Spent 5+ mins at inchicore as the catering person and guard were swapped to the 09:30 Dublin - Waterford.

It was 2 mins short of the full hour but might be worth the refund request anyhow.

hmmm. Would Rail Gourmet staff be trained in track safety or is being in the company of the guard enough to satisfy regulations?

Catering guy didn't seem to happy about it when I was talking to him this morning.

Rail Gourmet guys barely know how to make coffee, let alone safety procedures. They are not trained in the art of train swapping in Inchicore

Barry Kenny confirmed a signaling fault resulted in the delay on September 17 but was surprised to learn of the delays on subsequent days

Train was 15+ mins late arriving at Carlow.
Kildare at 08:14
Newbridge at 08:22
Heuston at 08:52 (good recovery)

The issues this week seem to be mostly related to door failures in the set running this service.

Today there is one locked out on coach 7128.

btw No catering to be seen when I walked the train just after Athy.

last monday, the train made carlow on time, after that it made it to heuston for 08:32 (a full 13 minutes early)
