Default [17-11-2007] Cork Services

Quote:
Cork service: delays by Corporate Communications

17th November - 09.55hrs

Iarnród Éireann advises customers that the 07.30hrs Cork to Heuston service is delayed by approximately 90 minutes. This is due to the train striking cattle on the line.

Iarnród Éireann apologises for the inconvenience caused.
Again no location on the incident which would be helpful, the 7:15 ex Tralee is an hour behind if it 30-40 minutes late

Irish Rail have a legal responsibility to fence the railway so you should be able to claim a refund.

The level of cattle strike on the railway is unacceptably high running at more than 1 a fortnight, it is a miracle no one has been seriously injured

I was getting the 1200 from Heuston to Cork (which was itself delayed by half an hour, allegedly because the loco didn't have enough diesel to complete the run, you couldn't make it up). A mk4 set pulled into plat. 4 at 1215 and another into plat. 7 at 1225, which could only have been the 0730 and 0930 respectively.
