Rosslare service 20mins late arriving into Gorey this morning the reason - Unknown. Train going about 55mph to Enniscorthy. There was no heating on because by God it was cold

Great way to celebrate what has probably been one of the iciest of mornings this autumn. Might be worth telling your local paper, a letter or something: 'given that there was no heating on a chilly October morning, is this Iarnród Éireann's way of preparing us for a winter without heating' or something.

Train was early, The 14:05 from Wexford was 7mins early arriving and departed bang on time. We arrived into Enniscorthy 19mins and Gorey I think 18mins. Can this section be upgraded for faster times.

The 08:52 Rosslare Connolly service failed today the train number 29005 was due to brake trouble passengers were bussed the rest of the way. Question - If a train fails would it usually appear on IE website? OR Just once there is some kind of transport available

When I arrived at Wicklow today on the 0949 ex Connolly, passengers for the northbound service were waiting at the station forecourt for the substitute bus. The failed unit passed northwards through Newcastle at 13.15 which suggests that it crossed the down train at Enniscorthy.

It is lucky that this did not happen Monday to Friday when the numbers inconvenienced would have been many times greater.

Busses were provided from Enniscorthy yesterday morning as the train was broken in Enniscorthy with brake problems. The train (a 29 type) passed Gorey empty around 12.30 and seemed to be struggling.
