Lies and Statistics on the Sligo line

James Howard · 14-10-2013, 11:31

I noticed a drop from 98% to just over 90% in the on-time stats this month for the Sligo line. This is a pretty awful set of numbers after a long run of reasonably good stats.

Also, somehow they have managed to have 100% reliability when there was definitely one train that didn't reach its destination. The 1705 to Sligo was abandoned at Mullingar on September 17th due to mechanical problems. Surely this constitutes an unreliable service or did they fiddle the figures somehow?
