Good call. The worst option would have been sticking to it rather than accept the issue and fix it.
However, the decision making process does need to be audited now.

Good to see them put their hands up and revert back.

Thank god.
We’ve just got to invest properly in Connolly and quad tracking. So much other DART+ improvements are just not going to happen without that.

Nice. The last 5 weeks have been hell.

At least they didn’t stick to it, but I’m amazed they got their modelling THAT badly wrong.

Just goes to show they haven’t a clue what they are doing. If they couldn’t roughly emulate the timings and have contingencies, doesn’t inspire much confidence in their abilities for managing an expanding network. Anybody who lives on the northern line could have said this was optimistic at best, without the provisions for the Howth to Howth Junction shuttle in place.

Why are Irish Rail taking the hit for this when it was the government who forcd it onto the NTA who forced Irish Rail to implement it? Irish Rail were against this from the start right?

I mean, we need to take a long hard look at our pathetic infrastructure and how to get it up to speed with some sort of acceptable modern standards.

Fair play to them – they admitted they got it wrong.
But maybe they need some new blood to come in and do the modeling as they should have seen it coming
