(Spot a trend yet?)
Was 10 minutes late arriving at Carlow. Electrical problems meant that there was only emergency lighting (and no lights in some carriages).

By implication, also no heating. Something blew after leaving waterford and repairs were attempted in KK but to no avail.

Cold train is better than no train i suppose.

That train (MK2) appears (almost) incapable of doing Waterford-Carlow in 1h14m as timetabled. Ticket checker agreed and muttered something about the difference between vacuum braked and air braked trains.

No PA announcements, PA hasn't worked on that train for a few days now. Ticket checker made announcements in each carriage about the problems after each stop.
