PIS went mad and started to scroll everything backwards as in "htwoH rof si niart sihT"

This only happens between Sydney Parade and Sandymount going north. IE are well aware of it but have not taken any action

PA said nothing until Pearse

The 2230 Pearse Maynooth had no internal or external PIS but credit to the driver he made clear audible announcemnents at every stop.

8.38 ex howth junction to Malahide. Back carriage was 8640, my carriage was 8540.

Internal display said its to Howth, next station was Shankill the entire way. The volume dropped on the announcements just before the stop name so they couldn't be heard. The route map showed Bray as the next stop for the entire journey. Side displays were out on my carriage.

Front and back were correct. The terminating station announcement was correct but it also played the 'change here for outer suburban connections', not sure if its meant to do that?

11:15 Cork-Heuston (bank holiday Monday special)

Internal displays not working. External displays saying "Cork" instead of "Dublin".
Train manager a little enthusiastic with announcements, ensuing distortion meant he was difficult to hear.

18:18 Pearse to Drogheda on Friday 10 Oct . Set with 2612 had destination given as Pearse. Came into Pearse from south of Pearse not from Tara side where this could be excused.
