Just Curiosity

[Mark Gleeson]

All trains south of Wicklow are classified as intercity for signaling purposes

The real time system only tracks class D, E and P type trains, inner, outer suburban and DART

No trains to Sligo, Belfast or Rosslare ever appear, it is not possible to track any train south of Bray since the signaling is manual, north of Dundalk is on NIR and beyond Broombridge is still under manual control

Guys, I just asked whether it would be wise or not to say InterCity or COMMUTER during the on platform anouncements. I would like to see this its not asking for much lets be honest......

[Mark Gleeson]

Its a waste of time and provides no benefit what so ever just means the pa is even longer than before

[KSW]

Mark Nicest way possible but its just One extra word

[Mark Gleeson]

Trust me you don't want it, ask anyone who travels in the UK where the pa's are prefixed by the train operating companies name its becomes very annoying very quickly

Clear and concise information is what we need and the auto pa system is pretty much bang on

Waste of time in my opinion calling it an InterCity Route in that case. It has been called InterCity for ever. When there is connections from the UK to Ireland via Fishguard and Fishguard to London on 6hour train journey.........
