[21-9-2006] Galway/Mayo/Cork - Heuston late trains

[Oisin88]

Tree down at 20:30 somewhere between Portarlington and Monasterevin. 18:30 Galway-ublin delayed 65 minutes. Westport and Thurles services behind presumably also late.

Customer Services in Heuston allegedly announced a partial refund. I didn't hear it, although I was not first out of my carriage.

We got a tree down south of Kildare
