The Sligo line appeared to be a bit of a mess on Friday with many trains twenty or more minutes late throughout the day. On Saturday the 1305 from Connolly was detained in Maynooth from 1333 to 1354 while the 1505 was 22 minutes late at Dromod. Running also appears to have deteriorated greatly over the last few years with new speed restrictions and a general pedestrian pace.

I had a good wait at Maynooth on the 1705 on Friday and it was still running more than 10 minutes late at Edgeworthstown but that is the exception rather than the rule over the last few months.
Actually, for people in the commuting pattern, reliability has got a lot better of the last couple of years while running time has remained about the same. The 17:00 from Sligo was the cause of a lot of problems as it had to cross with 5 other trains so since that has gone, the chronic delays largely left. If only they could do something about the wait at Killucan for the 19:05, things would be a lot better. |

There was a 1700 and a 1900 from Sligo until the last major timetable revision about three years ago I think. They both went and were replaced with the 1800. Since the 1700 had to cross with the 1505, 1600, 1705 and the 1905 along with a couple of Longford trains, it did make a bit of a mess of the evening timetable.

There were no extra trains operating on Sunday. EDIT - I understand from another source that the train you saw was a failed set being taken back to Dublin for maintenance. Last edited by berneyarms : 19-05-2015 at 13:23. |
