05:45 from Sligo got into Connolly around 09:40.

Any idea if there will be delays past Maynooth this evening?

Colm Moore · 02-12-2010, 10:37

I suspect its a matter of convenience / practicality. If they leave the points set for The Point, then they can't get stuck in the wrong position.

Those points were troublesome when they were installed for the Docklands extension.
