As a regular user of this service I have come to notice the train is often late.If fact if I am to be picky,taking anything from 2 to 5 minutes to count as late ( which I realize IE dont !!) then the service is actually late every day.I cant understand how one of the first trains of the day to be recieved by Heuston can be late all the time other than the delay being caused by train staff.On regular occasions the train gets as far as Heuston & then sits waiting for 5 or 10 minutes on an outbound train ! Good god can IE not even synchronize the simple arrival and departure of 2 trains. Am I to assume that these delays will only get worse during the upcomming "improvement" works !
