„Wir haben etwas falsch gemacht“ – Irish Rail ändert den Fahrplan

Good call. The worst option would have been sticking to it rather than accept the issue and fix it.

However, the decision making process does need to be audited now.

Good to see them put their hands up and revert back.

Nice. The last 5 weeks have been hell.

Just goes to show they haven’t a clue what they are doing. If they couldn’t roughly emulate the timings and have contingencies, doesn’t inspire much confidence in their abilities for managing an expanding network. Anybody who lives on the northern line could have said this was optimistic at best, without the provisions for the Howth to Howth Junction shuttle in place.

I mean, we need to take a long hard look at our pathetic infrastructure and how to get it up to speed with some sort of acceptable modern standards.

When is this going back to normal. Because im in the car until it is back to normal.

Are they reverting all the changes? I was enjoying the later trains on the waterford line.

There are a few things to be taken from this.

One: Why are Irish Rail the ones getting railroaded for this when they were forced into making these decisions.

Two: Fair play to Irish Rail, for everything they have had to deal with over the last few weeks. As someone who has worked a lot of customer facing rolls, dealing with complaints totally out of my control, well done to all the staff, genuinely, it must’ve been stressful with all of the (legitimate) complaints.

Three: The thing I like about all of this is, in our current climate of stagnation, where projects live and die, lost in a cycle of debate and protest, at least someone tried something, someone tried to improve things. Did it work? No, but I’ll take attempts at improvement, realising ‘whoops, that was a mistake, let’s undo that’ over doing nothing at all.

It’s only the morning one… for my line the afternoon one was way worse.

What was the intent behind the change, it doesn’t feel much notice was given.
