Consumer Issue or Letting Off Steam ? Who knows - maybe I need somewhere called Unbridled Rant ?
New DART schedule. You may have seen, or be aware of, the Irish Rail adverts along the lines that they're making improvements, improving customer service ? Ronnie Drew reading weak copy about two of everything and double-takes ?
My ar$e.
The schedules changed over the weekend. Up to last week there used be 7 southbound trains for me to use between 07:00 and 09:00. Now there are 6 and guess which one they cancelled - that's right - the one I used to get. Now, to get to work for 9:00, I need to be at the station 5 minutes earlier. No biggie but, for me, not an improvement.
In the evening there used be 5 northbound trains for me to use between 17:00 and 18:00. Now there are 3 which leaves me waiting on the platform for longer and getting home 15 minutes later. Again, no biggie, but still no happy camper.
This is on top of them introducing new stock that have less seats than the original carriages. So less trains and less places to sit on what arrives.
Am I happy ?
