I don't see the issue with the 16.00 being cancelled with a train either side of it and it's having the least impact as commuter traffic would be low. It's not as if there is a two hour gap. It has not impacted heavily on other trains apart from today I expect with students.

Being on a train for 4.5 hours while not acceptable there is simply nothing to do about it, the other 4 price set was probably in Carrick on Shannon and they couldn't run a loco to move the train. Walking passengers back to Sligo could be considered but most of the passengers are probably OAP"s and walking isn't an option.

The timetable needs to be advanced from Monday as that 4 car set won't be in service until it's hauled to Dublin as judging by the time delay they can't even start any engine on it. It's probably being two or three weeks since it's had a service. That only leaves on set to cover 14 services which isn't possible.
