Late Late Late
Virtually every day this week and last I've been late going to and from work. I understand the leaves excuse, but part of the problem is down to overcrowding due to IE's rubbish timetable and short trains.
Specific case - I get the 0730 train from Greystones - this is one of the busiest Darts of the morning rush because a) it serves Greystones and b) the 15-minute frequency from Bray at this time is insufficient. Its standing room only from Bray onwards every morning. Yet IE have been running it as a 6-carriage train so at every stop it gets delayed as people struggle to get on and off. Multiply by 16 stops into the City Centre and it regularly arrives at Pearse over 10 mins down. OK, an extra 2 carriages wouldn't prevent all of this, but it would help - they are running 8 carriage Darts, they should be prioritising the busier services. |
