Far better to hold up a Dart for a minute or two and give a head start to those going further afield.

Irish Rail frankly haven't an operational brain in their head. Was on the 1900 to Belfast last night. At precisely 1900 the 1800 DART from Greystones swung onto the main line at Ossory Road heading north. Aa a consequence the Belfast train didn't exceed 26mph until after Howth Junction and incurred a delay of 10 minutes as a consequence. Further delays followed due to speed restrictions at Clongriffin, Malahide, Mosney and Drogheda.
THe "congestion" argument doesn't hold up as the previous train left Ossory road northbound about 20 minutes earlier.
Thres more people on the DART argument does'nt hold up either as there wasn't.
Additional delay to the DART service would have been about 1½ minutes v 10 minutes to the Belfast service. What a joke !
