@livscardiganss@IrishRail The train is not delayed on the single track section
The delay arises between Maynooth and Connolly.
10mins twice a day five days a week adds up
@IrishRail The 0905 Maynooth Connolly is consistently arriving late (14mins today) despite being timetabled to take 35 mins (journey can be done in 28 mins). Way too long sitting outside Connolly. If there is issues with reaching terminal plats, terminate on P7 to make it on time
@livscardiganss@IrishRail It's not much to suggest the trains run to the official timetable..
And the Sligo trains are significantly faster, that's why people want to take them.
In other countries it's normal for express trains from outer suburbs to run along with stopping trains.
@IrishRail There seems to be congestion every morning? What is being done to try and ensure this doesn't happen again tomorrow?
If the terminal platforms are busy surely P7 can be used.
@RailUsersIe@IrishRail And now they had an empty out of service commuter train run south (could have brought people to Tara and Pearse), meanwhile everyone's waiting on platform 5, heavily delayed for the next dart. They could learn to be more flexible when things go wrong.
@IrishRail@RailUsersIe sat outside Connolly on the arriving Sligo train for 10mins now. Watched 3 trains pass. Why haven't we been given a signal to arrive?
Train was going to be on-time, is now running late, wouldn't be acceptable in Japan.
@DublinCommuters Why don't we have rental scooters in towns and cities across the country like in other European cities. Would solve the last mile problem and make public transport a more viable and attractive option for people who live 15-45mins walk from a train station.
@IrishRail@RailUsersIe With the new fares from Enfield, how does capping work. If you take a leap card journey from Enfield into Dublin does that count towards the weekly cap?
Do you get any credit towards the cap for it?
Or does it just not count at all?
@SlattsSean@SocDems@WhitmoreJen Minimum required on the card is to prevent a potential exploit of abusing the minimum balances. That's the trade off for being able to go further on the epurse.
How have they messed up the daily cap?
@SocDems I don't know what the politicians are complaining about, but they really shouldn't be trying to interfere in the fares determination being made fairer and more consistent.
@TFIupdates Could we have something slightly more specific than "operational issue". If you have to be in Dublin for 10am the slower train just doesn't cut it and people are gonna be late. It's completely disrespectful to customers to not explain why or even apologise for this.
