Expect the same again this weekend.
Irish Rail are of course still taking bookings in full knowledge that there won't be a service per the timetable

Since we had no firm confirmation, there is a full discussion concerning the reasons why we sometimes can't publicly disclose certain information in the members area
A significant amount of information that we recieve turns out to be rubbish as well, accuracy is important as is protecting the identify of those who provide the information

These notices have either expired or the problem has been solved.

We have received no information to indicate a change in the situation therefore the same disruption is expected again
Irish Rail will only confirm this on Thursday at about 16:00

It would be a wise move to avoid the 8:30 and 10:30 trains from Cork tomorrow Sunday
Neither will be a Mk4 train, and since Cork only has 1 Mk3 set one wonders what they will send up. That means one train will be devoid of first and catering Only options are a 4 car 2700 or possibly a Mk3 push pull set which seems to be lurking around Mallow on Sundays, most likely is the 2700 set Edit Irish Rail have withdrawn all reservations from the 8:30 and 10:30 tomorrow

A 2700 set appeared to work the 10:30 Cork Dublin and 14:00 Dublin Cork
No first, no catering and no reservations The Mk4 fleet was fully serviceable on Sunday, this is yet another staffing issue

Exact repeat performance this week, usual cancellations and changes
Avoid the 10:30 Cork Dublin and 14:00 Dublin Cork

People are still showing up in Cork for the 7:30 on Sunday morning, after all there is less than 48 hours notice of a cancellation. Claim your 50% refund folks for the delay http://www.railusers.ie/passenger_in...ty_heuston.pdf

This appeared this morning, the notice should be permanent until the problems are solved, once again the passenger is caught out by short notice

So despite all the singing and dancing from Irish Rail the 2007 timetable continues to apply in Cork on Sunday, so why again did management set up last Thursday week, it hasn't made things any better on the ground
Fact is there aren't enough drivers to cover services Quote:
