Arrived at 8.00am no announcement that I heard in station, driver said it was due to 'speed restrictions en route'

That code for a sheared suspension bolt

Its the new policy of hide the truth but not to lie

I got the same spin http://forum.platform11.org/showthread.php?t=961

Yes the train was delayed by a speed restriction, that much is true
The cause was most likely a sheared bolt in the suspension on the train which resulted in the speed restriction

Cool thanks for this info, at least it makes a bit of sense now. I'll let you know what tomorrow's excuse is!

So-called 07.35 half an hour late. Again. I know there are ballybrophy works etc but this seems a convenient excuse as it's always late all year round.

No announcement made at station this morning. Losing the last of my patience fast as I nearly get blown away in gale force winds waiting for a train that is always late! If they just bloody announce it I could go back to nice warm car (or house) for the extra half an hour.

2 excuses today. The on-train excuse was "due to leaving limerick late" or something to that effect and in-station excuse at heuston was "due to not getting line clearance" or something to that effect. Can someone invent a smiley with a shotgun so i can insert it here?
