07:18 Drogheda to Bray

Newer carriages today - ( a welcome change from the sets of 2 x 2 couch and burn-your- legs-off under seat heating - sorry Im not up to speed on the models numbers yet)and an automated announcement of all stops and destination on the train before it left the station.

However, didn't get into Pearse until 08:37 - 17 mins late and no explanation to why.

Yeah but it is currently on the maynooth line heading inbound and should reach connolly by around quarter to five. Some other peak hour service possibly will suffer for a change. Although i personally dont mind them

I was on it aswell, i didnt gt how it was late, the rate of travel didnt seem slower or anything, i guess it was just one of those days.

It's back to the desperate old train today. Thought I would collapse in the heat, woke up to find my open window closed by some crazy fool

It seemed really packed to the gills this morning.

No, it never feels like a slower journey when it's late. Of course that could be the lack of oxygen going to my brain...

Did you notice was it a shorter train than normal?

chuggachuggachoochoo · 02-10-2007, 10:34

That would explain the crowding. Well there was no announcements about it at Drogheda, as per usual.

I didn't think to count the carriages this morning, it was still so dark when i was boarding

that train formed the 16:04 maynooth-connolly yesterday and it was eight carriages long. don't know what train it ran last night but there didn't seem to be any noticable problems
