You can add that to the spelling lesson, the grammar lesson, the syntax lesson, and many more.....

Any word on when this will be opened again? Hoping to go back down tomorrow afternoon.
Came home on the 19:00 ex Connolly yesterday, despite the disruption. It was a tale of three parts really - Connolly - staff very friendly and helpful - yes, I was surprised. Advised me not to get a through ticket to Lurgan because I would miss the connection, which I hadn't considered. Was reminded of disruption again by ticket checker at P2 On train, at Dundalk, on bus - absolutely no information on the train - no counting of passengers at all, never mind by destination - no announcement when we arrived in Dundalk. Some people (tourists?) stayed on the train. - no staff on platform and no one directing pax to buses - three buses, which just about fit the number of passengers (every seat filled on Newry bus, including fold-down seat beside driver) - no indication which bus was going where - everyone was asking each other - driver also failed to announce where he was going... - driver had to be directed to Newry station by passenger Newry, second train and Portadown - staff in Newry were fantastic and the train left extremely promptly after arrival of the bus. - Conductor on the train was fantastic - v friendly, explained what was happening, and that there would be local connections in Portadown - Staff in Portadown good as usual and afaik had held a local train for connections (so I could have got that through ticket... - oh well) I guess I should just be happy for the instances of good customer service, and stop bemoaning the situation in Dundalk. Still, I somehow wish there was a bit of consistency about this service. |
