[Ir Times Letter] IÉ may be getting there

[Nigel Fitzgricer]

There was a letter to the Sunday Business Post a few weeks back from Prague this time claiming that the Metro should not be built becuase Al Queda was more likely to attack something called "Metro" than something called "DART".

Lets just see how long it is before the clocks go wrong

Shouldn't Statutes (Definition of Time) Act, 1880 etc cover this?

Its a well held princple in the business that if you set two clocks to be the same the times they display will grow apart

The red clocks at the platform gates seem to be 1-2 minutes ahead of internet time (time.windows.com) This is crucial when your morning routine involves getting through the gate as close as possible to the minimum 2 minutes (or even P11s recommended 3 minutes.)

Green ones where 55 seconds out compared to the red ones today

DART displays seem to be correct to internet time

seems to be a problem at connolly too,times at platform differ from the big clock in the main part of the station
