Train Missing on PIS
I went to Tara Street on Monday lunchtime to get the 12:52 southbound DART. Got on the platform at about 12:47 to find that the next southbound train was a service to Rosslare Europort in ~18 minutes and the next southbound DART would not be for 25 minutes. I checked with an IE staff member on the platform and he didn't know about any cancellations or delays.
A DART did eventually show up at 12:58 but never appeared on the board. How can this happen in what I assume is an automated system? |

Rubbish in rubbish out, if computer was never told the train in question exists, it won't show it
Given our experience with DARTxt we know Irish Rail don't always maintain the timetable correctly

I've seen this happen a number of times. It's very misleading for anyone not familiar with the system as the platform display says one thing and the traion is going somewhere else.
