On train announcements, too long, too often, too loud.

[Mark Gleeson]

29k or ICR? we can pass that on.

The emergency notices are fairly new, so anything is better than nothing. The signs are heavily graphically driven so do make limited sense if you can't read.

If we can find a lack of Irish signs we can use that as reason to fix any other issue in the system.

For the record we did successfully get the Dublin Cork announcements changed about 4 years back if you think now is bad it was much worse back then

The actual form of words use varies, the ICR fleet use a shortened version when the train is in commuter mode as distinct from intercity. Again the rules stipulate a different form of words and frequency of announcements based on the journey time between stations.

Have automated announcements or interior LED signs ever been used in the 2800 class.

The Longford at Edgeworthstown problem is on 29ks. I've not noticed it on 22ks as I usually get the 1805. It dates back to at least when the 1805 service started and I think it was happening even before that although I used to rarely use 29ks going down as the old Sligo Intercity was a lot more comfortable.
