Lets all go to platform 3

[Mark Gleeson]

Its starting to become a joke in Dun Laoghaire

So after finally getting Irish Rail to admit the timetable was impossible they now get the 7:37 from Malahide to Dun Laoghaire to leave at 7:40. It of course arrives Dun Laoghaire at the same time as before, just of course under the 5 minute delay window

Staff in Dun Laoghaire of course frequently fail to notice that the 8:37 starting from platform 3 will be held to let the 8:44 train on platform 1 through first. By the time you notice the signal going green its too late to swap platforms

So this morning, it looked like the 8:44 would get out first, but everyone is directed to platform 3, sure enough 8:44 rolls in and out on platform 1, normally thats ok since the 8:37 will follow on the heels of the 8:44. But then we are told the train we are on is stuck due a points failure so we have to change for the 8:59.

Not the first time, bad coordination and communication.
