What's going on?

Just noticed a lot of 5-15 minute delays in the morning and evening preak in the last 2 weeks. Have to sit outside Connolly in the morning, and sit south of Malahide in the evening. Never any announcements...any ideas what going on?

you should have an extra cup of tea at home and come in on time so.

Heard from AA Roadwatch there was a door fault which stopped all southbound services around 8.30. Of course nothing on the LED displays, no driver announcements or no platform announcements.
I think things catch back up for the arrival of the 9am Belfast service, but that's too late for me. I just which the communication would improve.

Well there was plenty of it "going on" this morning.

Our train, due to arrive in Pearse at 0821 crawled in at 0841 after a 10 minute delay at Howth Junction and presumably being stuck behind a dart for the rest of the journey in.

No announcements. The only outward sign that anything was amiss was when we arrived at Pearse, we got the "delayed" part in the "The next train at platform one is the delayed....."

I have heard that so often that sometimes I wonder if announcements exist without it.

If this announcement is used, does that mean that the service does not make it into the "X% of trains ran on time" posters?

There was a mechanical failure at Pearse this morning.

Dont have any details, the driver announced it as the 07:58 Maynooth Bray was stuck outside Tara street for 10 mins.
