Timing Statistics

Gorey trains have been late a good few times recently, especially the 16:40 from Connolly to Gorey, this is usually running between 10 and 15 minutes late

Email in specific details, date,time,location and the train details and we can add it into the database. We have everything into Connolly covered currently

Yesterday and today not good as usual although we made Edgeworthstown with about 15 seconds to spare for officially late. I suspect that the stats may not be that far out of whack given the notion that 9 minutes and 59 seconds is not late. However, this morning was good and late - no idea why.

What is odd is that they are recording greater than 99% reliability and puntuality for the Belfast line on posters in Connolly. Exactly what sort of methodology have they used to establish that given that not a single train has arrived at Connolly from Belfast for 2 months?

Irish Rail work on the basis of if no one notices a cancellation, the train wasn't cancelled.

End of the day, if Irish Rail had confidence in their numbers they wouldn't have a problem releasing them, they refuse every single time and the numbers we have gathered so far exposes the Irish Rail numbers as being extremely misleading

Only 38% of Sligo services arrived Dublin within 10 minutes yesterday

Actual arrival times in brackets. Two out of four meet IE's definition of on time (8 minutes and 9 minutes late). Monday was also more than 10 minutes late but I didn't record it.

10/11: 1809 Pearse - 2007 Edgeworthstown (2015)
11/11: 1805 Connolly (1805) - 1934 Edgeworthstown (1943)
12/11: 1805 Connolly (1806) - 1914 Mullingar (1925) - 1934 Edgeworthstown (1944) - Long wait at Killucan for up-train
13/11: 1805 Connolly (1806) - 1914 Mullingar (1924) - 1934 Edgeworthstown (1944) - Slow going to Maynooth, probably behind a stopping train

Maynooth: 19:48
Kilcock: 19:56
Enfield: 20:07
Mullingar: 20:32
Longford: 21:08
Dromod: 21:22
Carrick: 21:36

Yesterday's 1500 Sligo - Connolly arrived into Connolly at 1930, 90 minutes late.

The 1905 Connolly - Sligo left Connolly @ 2000, 55 minutes late and arrived into Mullingar @ 2115, 58 minutes late.

Extra time lost due to sitting outside Maynooth waiting for the 1700 Sligo - Connolly to cross, which it did at approx. 2035, which means that it must've been about an hour late into Connolly.

I heard no PA announcements apologising for/explaining the delay while waiting for the 1905, you'd think that's the least they could do
