@RailUsersIe Seems to be chaos the last four or five days
English
Rail services suspended between Dalkey and Bray due issue with overhead wires
Waterford service subject to delay due a broken down freight train at Carlow
English
Really poor service from @easyJet. 5 hour delay in Hurghada that just keeps increasing and no information from anyone. No email or text.
Looking like I’ll end up missing an overnight self connection at this point.
English
@RailUsersIe @icaras2048 @kemstr Irish rail’s war against crossovers succeeds spectacularly once again.
English
@icaras2048 @kemstr Two of three platforms at GCD are a no go.
You could in theory run Sydney Parade-Bray/Greystones today using the signalling in place but with trains alternating sides, its been done before
Much easier if they hadn't removed the crossovers at Merrion 20 years ago
English
Not good, this is the northbound platform at Grand Canal Dock
“Jay” - meaning- A foolish person@Gay4Molemann1
@IrishRail I would say a while yeah 😂
English
English
@doher84217 @IrishRail The early Sligo train is 5-10 minutes late at Longford almost every morning. This knocks on through the day making the evening trains 5-10 minutes late every night and even later some nights. Obviously issues happen now and again but there is no excuse for every day.
English
Yet another @IrishRail passenger fainting on the overcrowded 07:50 commuter train from Athenry to Galway. Almost daily occurrence now. Zero regard for paying commuters
English
@RailUsersIe That must be why it was about 12 minutes late at Edgeworthstown yesterday - balancing things out.

0540 Sligo Connolly left Maynooth over 4 minutes early today. Critical peak hour train departed early.
Unacceptable
English
214 occurrences of a train leaving a station more than a minute early yesterday, just between Dublin Connolly and Greystones. 11 occurrence of a train leaving more than 5 minutes early
It's bad enough the trains are constantly late, leaving early is unacceptable
English
@MikeMcKillen This is a fundamental issue with roundabouts and bikes. I came very close to getting hit in a very similar way at a roundabout a few weeks back because the driver was looking for a gap in traffic on the roundabout instead of right ahead of them.
English
#HiVisFail is a cloak to hide the incompetence of road safety agencies to protect #ActiveTravel users from continuing #motordom of our shared roads.
Safe Cycling Ireland 🇮🇪@SafeCyclingEire
All these calls for mandatory high viz for bicycle riders.. Is this a ‘cargo cult’ distraction to the proliferation of the poor driving standards that we are seeing out there?
English
@but_cyclists It's an Audi - they don't have to obey the same rules as everyone else
English
A trained and licensed motorist perfectly applies the knowledge they have gained through studying the Highway Code (something that cyclists don't do) while executing an overtaking manoeuvre
English
Great to see a conviction and a custodial sentence but this is disgraceful,
“When gardaí arrived, Nevin was being detained by security. Gda O'Toole said it had taken gardaí around two hours to respond to the call as it was a busy night.”

@Firmordana @DublinCommuters I don't know if you cycle regularly, but a lot of cycle lanes don't really work. The cycle lane I use regularly on the Old Cabra Road bears a passing resemblance to the surface of the moon.
English
@DublinCommuters Cyclists should have their bicycles seized if found to be cycling on a roadway when there is a cycle lane available.
And they should be obliged to wear high viz day and night, even when they aren't cycling so that people can identify them as cyclists and stear clear.
English
“Cycling is a safe activity, so is walking on a footpath in your own community”
The continuous on-again, off-again position from the Ministers’ for Transport about mandatory hi-vis & helmets needs to stop
They just need to deliver safe active travel infrastructure
English
@DublinCommuters There is just a complete lack of enforcement for everything. @Deliveroo riders on "ebikes", Ninjas on escooters, cars running red lights, dangerous parking - none of it is ever enforced. I've not been stopped for anything other than a road tax check for at least 15 years.
English
@DubScottie @RyanCar46073919 @RailUsersIe That's good. I guess it will be built any decade now after the local residents take an objection to the supreme court about their view being ruined.
English
@RyanCar46073919 @RailUsersIe New seawall in the planning stage.
English
@RailUsersIe There seems to be a 22k set on Sligo with an inoperative booking display system for the last couple of weeks. Either that or they've just gotten a lot lazier about entering the data. Causes all kinds of issues on the 1705 down.
English
Round two to embarrass maintenance standards at Irish Rail
A door locked out of service for over a week causing all kinds of problems
Folks getting off at Grand Canal Dock are about to get a surprise and panic to push through a packed carriage to escape before the doors close
English
@RogerMullingar @IrishRail You can’t even claim if you’re on a commuter pass because the booking is usually free.
English
@IrishRail The 1705 to Sligo is operating well within Irish parameters of timekeeping and delays.. Congratulations
Questions : Do all the unclaimed refunds for the regularly failing (yes today, once more " seat booking system go to a charitable cause or straight into @IrishRail © coffers?
English
17:10 Ballina/Manulla Junction is set to be operated by bus transfers due to an abrupt staffing issue. -AD
English
@realBobbyHealy Wow. They are making more money selling earphones than they are selling macs.
English
@DublinCommuters But yes mandatory helmets or high vis will accomplish nothing without enforcement of laws for every type of road user.
English
If they’re talking about illegal eScooters & Bikes, there are laws that simply need to be enforced
If they’re talking about requiring helmets & hi-vis jackets for bikes & legal eScooters…. It will be vehemently opposed by us, campaigners & bike share companies
RTÉ News@rtenews
A ban on scramblers in public spaces will be introduced within weeks following Government discussions. The Taoiseach has instructed that the regulations banning the use of scramblers on public roads, parks and places are finalised urgently rte.ie/news/politics/…
English
@DublinCommuters For whatever reason @gardainfo is either unwilling or unable to enforce a wide range of traffic laws. I suspect the ease with which this stuff can be taken to court without any extra penalty has something to do with it.
English
@jem72 Hi James, Broombridge station is open and expected to open in the morning. -CL
English
Update:
Rosslare Line services remain suspended due to flooding on the line at Enniscorthy.
Bus transfers are in operation.
All other routes are operating with knock-on delays due to adverse weather conditions.
