but ironically arrived in Gorey at 18.34 (on time) I have never seen Connolly station so busy in my life as today. The reason why the 16.40 Gorey train was late is because (1) It did intend to operate as normal into platform 5 but then the 6coach 22k train behind it then the Gorey train had to park at the back at Connolly again the Sligo train went into platform 4 then there was a Dart into platform 6 then train from the south then a train came from the Maynooth direction and into Platform 5 then the Gorey train came after the 17.00 which terminated at Connolly then the Gorey arrived at Platform 5. The train left at 17.05 and arrived in Gorey and all stations after Greystones on time so it is very clear that IE have 30 or so minutes of padded time onto the Gorey service. I have to say there were lots of New train fans to Gorey as I seen them coming off the train. The train left Gorey at 19.25 and arrived in Dublin 21.12 I have to say I honestly cant wait for the full introduction of the 22k on this line. Overall a very good train for this line.
