As of today, NFB Blog will no longer be updating on Twitter, at least until it gets some responsible ownership. Thanks for following.

@IrishRail And that because someone decided getting a train delayed by the usual messups to Malahide was more important than picking up passengers on the route, who all paid same fares. That's a new level of incompetent in my experience with Irish Rail, and you didn't even apologise for it!

[NeverFeltBetter @NFBblog]

@IrishRail So, at GCD now, loads of passengers who would have been on the 1639 left waiting for the Longford train in half an hour that will now be twice as packed as it needs to be because the first service couldn't have been held four measley minutes.

[NeverFeltBetter @NFBblog]

@IrishRail Imagine my shock to get to Connolly to find the Maynooth train had already left. Your bad communications have left hundreds of passengers stranded at Connolly with no clue what to do next.

[NeverFeltBetter @NFBblog]

@IrishRail And now after telling everyone to get on the next northbound DART, the Drogheda train, 95% empty, leaves first! You can surely do better than this.

[NeverFeltBetter @NFBblog]

@IrishRail Is it going to wait for all the passengers currently at GCD?

[NeverFeltBetter @NFBblog]

@IrishRail Might want to let all the people waiting at GCD know that, not all of them will have Twitter accounts!

[NeverFeltBetter @NFBblog]

@IrishRail Your RTI at Lansdowne Road isn't right, it said the next train going north wasn't till 1655, people left, and then a dart arrived minutes later. Basic, basic stuff not getting done right.

[NeverFeltBetter @NFBblog]

@IrishRail A four carriage Longford train in this heat is asking for disaster. If something went wrong would it be the usual excuses?

[NeverFeltBetter @NFBblog]

@IrishRail or the 1639 to Maynooth rather.

[NeverFeltBetter @NFBblog]

@IrishRail Hey, the train that just left GCD a few minutes ago, commuter train, no destination on it, the RTI said Drogheda. Was that the 1639 to Longford? Because if so a load of people waiting for that train didn't get on!

[NeverFeltBetter @NFBblog]

@IrishRail Posting the train will be 25 minutes delayed 20 minutes after it was meant to be here is simply not good enough.

[NeverFeltBetter @NFBblog]

@IrishRail And this could not be passed on to waiting passengers because? No update here, nothing on RTI.

[NeverFeltBetter @NFBblog]

@IrishRail Can you make an announcement to the hundreds of people on this platform?

[NeverFeltBetter @NFBblog]

@IrishRail Three DARTs have passed going south since I wrote this message. The hundreds of people on the other platform need to get home too.

[NeverFeltBetter @NFBblog]

@IrishRail Waiting at GCD for a Longford train that hasn't appeared yet? Any idea when/if it will?

[NeverFeltBetter @NFBblog]

@IrishRail Might want to have a word with whoever you have driving the 1630 Maynooth train who stopped in Pelletstown and forgot to open the doors to let anyone on our off!

[NeverFeltBetter @NFBblog]

@IrishRail Can you please confirm when the 1639 GCD to Maynooth train will revert back to 8 carriages? It has been four for the last week and frankly feels very overcrowded and unsafe.
