A damning indictment of Irish Rail's Intercity service.

[Thomas J Stamp]

The only hole in your arguments is that that is what happens all the time in Heuston and you dont see people unlocking gates and running up platforms.

there are numerous valid reasons for going through.

There arent actually. Leaving aside anything I know, gates are locked for a reason. To stop you from going through. This gate was bolted.

When the gate is closed its closed by a bolt being put into a hole in the side supports.

I agree on signage, good idea, should be on the gate.

Of course, the elephant in the room here is that it may not have been the 11.00 train at all. I once watched the 16.00 on a sunday break down with everyone on it and depart after the 17.00..................

anyway, this is starting to go round in circles, lets get back to why we're here: the appaling staff on the CDE.
