What is the reasoning behind having a track maintenance machine moving around at peak times?

First announcement on twitter that it had failed was at approx 16:30, which is peak time. Even if it was delayed because of the earlier Kildare incident, surely passenger services should take priority.

It failed before 14.45 departure to Westport as all trains since then have being stopped, single line was used for a little bit, then the signal failure at Cherryville which at the minute is causing more delays.

Services from Heuston have being stopped since 18.20 as the 14.50 from Waterford is blocking the 15.10 at Cherryville Junction. Driver hops to be moving soon, have heard this one a lot today.

I see a rumour started on twitter saying the heat caused a track problem and not a broken machine. Anyone confirm? 18.25 from Waterford-Heuston will be a bus transfer. |

Train failures and signalling faults are all too common now - and this inept company are concentrating all their efforts on fare evasion - enough said

I was on the 5:05 train to Ballybrophy ( got there about 9:30 ). It was half-empty. My friend was on the 4:25 to Ballybrophy ( got there about 8:50 ). It was also half-empty. |

I would hope someone has done an analysis that says that the fare evasion crackdown will pay for itself through issued fines and increased compliance.

I've just posted off my claim form with a photocopy of my annual ticket.
Most likely they will issue vouchers. Do they print your name on the vouchers? I was hoping to give them to a friend of mine who typically goes up 1-2 days per week from Ballybrophy. Might save them some money perhaps. EVERYONE CLAIM!! Don't let this shower away with this. Sorry for the all-caps above. I've wrecked this morning (poor widdle me ) |

Can Mark & the other shed any light on yesterday's joke of a service and why they did not merge services out of Heuston? |
