I’ve been made a very cynical person with this government but would this have anything to do with water protest in Dublin tomorrow !!!!
More likely the Parnell Sq brigade trying a bit of “look over there”, they have experience with train lines especially sending them 20 feet in the air.
I was thinking the same thing Tony. There were big delays last time too.
Tony you are been red thumbed, from the FG/LAB TROLLS but I agree with you, there is also an national slow down day, and just to put the cherry on the cake, a mysterious package arrives at Alan Kelly’s office.
I don’t care I drive and I’m in Australia…next story
If you’re in Australia and you drive then why read the article and comment when you clearly knew the story was about trains in Ireland from the headline, do you just like broadcasting how much of a tool you are?
Well, I do care and was delayed for more than an hour coming to work.
Worse than that – the train was filled over capacity and it felt quite unsafe.
Have you been watching the BBC series about Mumbai station? Should see the trains, now that is mad Ted!
