What's gone wrong with signalling in Heuston this morning?

28-05-2019 7:23am #1

So what's gone with the signals in Heuston this morning?

What's causing such a major failure in the system?

Beechwoodspark · 28-05-2019 7:57am

What a major major mess up by Irish rail this morning

Jamie2k9 · 28-05-2019 7:59am

Not using backup is part of the problem but have started manual signalling has started.

Emme · 28-05-2019 8:08am

Irish Rail have really disgraced themselves this morning. Commuters from all over the country have been let down with just a perfunctory explanation from Irish Rail

Will we be getting compensation from Irish Rail for this?

Imagine all the lost productivity in workplaces this morning thanks to this cock-up by Irish Rail.

Shame on Irish Rail. There are no excuses for this mess.

Really, your first question ..... will we get compo ?

Yes, some workplaces will be without commuters for a period of time, I’m sure the majority of commuters can opt for a bus transfer if rail network isn’t operational.

And I’m sure that your annual ticket will work on a bus service for today if it’s the next best option.

It’s a once off, or do you expect you will be compensated for the trains not working because you have an annual pass ?

By all means if you believe you should be compensated contact their customer service and complain and “demand” your compensation, but please don’t get too upset if they ignore you or fail to give you anything in return.

Colonel Claptrap · 28-05-2019 8:35am

Can anyone explain what a typical signal failure looks like, and what redundancies are or should be available?

What does manual signalling look like? A man with a flag?

Is it typically software or mechanical failure?
How does the control centre find out? Is there a warning or do they rely on drivers to report it?

Are all signal faults created equal?

Why are Irish rail often slow at providing updates? Can a fix not be implemented relatively quickly, or is it more complex than that.

Thanks.

So.... complain to Irish rail and seek your compensation, dont forget to include the mental distress payment for the increased stress levels due to having to figure out an alternative route to work, and the extra expense of having to purchase a morning coffee/tea elsewhere because the train wasn’t working - you couldn’t purchase the one you normally purchase on the train.

Do you expect Irish rail should compensate those that commute regularly but are not annual ticket holders ? I’m sure there are people who are equally as annoyed as you who might need to get to a hospital appointment in Dublin but are not a regular train user .... should they also be compensated ? How about those people who were planning on going to the zoo by train from elsewhere in the country.... should they be compensated ?

I had to change my plans this morning - and had to take my car to work instead of taking the train, should I put in a claim for the extra parking expenses I’m forced to endure because of Irish rails error ?

SeeMoreBut · 28-05-2019 8:46am

As a train user.

What annoys people is the reason. The old operational problem. Is it staff shortage or a few drivers out sick.

Why not say that points where vandalised, broken, stolen, frozen or whatever.

With the lack of knowledge of reason today makes people wonder how long to fix. More understanding then people might then realise it could take a few hours to fix.

They must have an idea how to fix every issue. Say 30, 1 hour 2 hours. Gives people an idea what to do.

“I’m sure” is a turn of phrase, I haven’t checked if Irish rail provided alternative services but logic would dictate they would provide/offer such a service , but feel free to check out if your annual ticket can allow you access on a bus journey, if not.... you could always pay for it and put that into your claim for compensation, after all, Irish rail with this error forced you to take alternative transport.

Why would you want an explanation when you've already decided there are no excuses?

Have you considered the distinct possibility that Irish Rail at this moment don't actually know what caused the problem, but are putting all their efforts into finding out, and resolving it, rather than wasting time trying to appease passengers with explanations they don't have?

Sh1t happens. get over it.

You are missing the point completely and I suspect deliberately

I and many thousands of others pay directly from our wages a fee for annual ticket

If the service is unavailable for use I expect not to be charged for it. So I will seek a refund.

Clear now???????!

They issue these general meaningless statements akin to the height of soviet Russia when they were sending political prisoners to the Siberian gulags

In my experience the generic answer is done to please the masses, a general “technical problem” should be enough to tell people the service isn’t available and people can make alternative arrangements, Irish rail have identified a problem and before they investigate as to the cause and possible solution of the problem ....is it not better to put out a generic - we have a problem, service is down, please use alternative methods.

I don’t know the issues involved, I heard it on the radio this morning and opted to take my car and use that option for today, yes, it’s more expensive for me but it’s not a regular occurrence.... I certainly won’t be seeking compensation for the train not working.

Do you have further examples of their contempt for you as a customer ?

You say you want real time updates....another poster linked real time updates from Irish rail ... so you have real time updates.

Comparing the rail line information to soviet Russia transfer of political prisoners .... really?? Why not go all out and compare it to the nazi’s ... you know for better likes and what not.

Did you contact them yet about your compensation claim ?

Colonel Claptrap · 28-05-2019 9:01am

I'd love to see push notifications from their Twitter feed, or a text message system.

Ridiculous situation that I can check their 'real time' timetable on the website but arrive at the station to discover trains have been cancelled for the past hour and Twitter is the only reliable source of information.

Annoying that I must fact check their own timetable against their social media account.

This stuff is simple to fix.

You can, to be fair, turn on push notifications on their twitter feed using the app - you need the app. I do it and it’s good for days like today. In fact a notification just appeared about the portlaoise trains as I was writing this.

B Kenny admitting they screwed up with their handling of the failure this morning. He said it's not acceptable that customers should find out about the signal failure on Twitter.

He was conspicuous by his absence this morning, the spokesperson on the radio this morning was akin to the Maria bailey interview yesterday.

I’m not sure how to reply to this can you explain the “to what bus capacity?” Question means please, or would I be correct in assuming you are saying that the train users who can avail of a bus for their commute will be limited by bus capacity and you say that Dublin public transport is currently running at its limits - which implies the extra numbers who would normally take a train would not be accommodated on other public transport because every bus and tram is already full all of the time.

Am I correct in my understanding of your message.

Also, if you have read the thread another person pointed out that Irish rail are not offering alternative transport for persons who normally use their service and cannot this morning.

Emme · 28-05-2019 11:00am

Barry Kenny is alive and well and might be posting on this thread.

I am not Maria Bailey. I have been commuting the guts of 3 hours a day by train for 7 years now. Like many I had to move out of Dublin to afford somewhere to live. During those 7 years I have experienced the contempt of Irish Rail towards passengers, particularly on certain routes.

It is not unreasonable for passengers to seek compensation for this morning's fiasco. Even if annual ticket holders have little chance of getting it we should still send in the form (a poster put up a link earlier on this thread) asking for it. I pay a hefty chunk of my salary for an annual ticket and because I pay the lower rate of tax the taxsaver deduction makes little difference to me. I have to make sacrifices in my monthly budget to pay for that ticket.

The real time page was not reporting accurately this morning, it needs to be reviewed so it shows REAL time situations, not IDEAL time situations.

Now it's over to the Irish Rail shills and bots who hang out here.

Please highlight below where you stated that rail users are annoyed by the fact the train is delayed ? , because my understanding of what the text says is that what annoys people is the reason, the explanation or lack thereof is the reason for annoyance - you have not said that the fact the train is delayed causes annoyance you said the reason people get annoyed is the information/misinformation and it was implied that this is the sole reason for annoyance.

As regards the lack of information in my opinion a lot of commuters this morning are annoyed but to use a different analogy....it’s similar to phoning a plumber and asking how long until he fixes the problem, without the plumber knowing what the problem is.... give Irish rail time to find out what happened, assess how long it will take to fix and then let them fix it or give an estimate of how long before services are repaired. They cannot be expected to give a timeframe for fixing until they diagnose the problem.

Pursuant to EC1371 art 16, passengers impacted this morning are entitled to one of the following at no cost
1. Full refund
2. Rerouting, i.e. ticket limited to a specific train can now be used on any train
3. You are entitled to make the journey on a different date

It's not a symptom of comp culture, it's your right as an individual who paid for a service that was not provided.
In fact, more people should claim as Irish Rail will still make money from this morning as a lot of commuters have basically prepaid for the journey via their annual ticket.

I bet that those responsible for the "signalling problem" :rolleyes: at Irish Rail this morning will get a light rap on the knuckles at most. Then they will go back to laughing at passengers.

On the other hand many of us late for work this morning will be reprimanded or even get an official warning. We will be told that late trains are no excuse for not getting to work on time

Same here. It takes a while but does happen if you persist.

storker · 28-05-2019 12:58pm

According to the Indo:

Irish Rail attributed the delays to a "major signal fault" on Twitter and said services "into and out of Heuston are impacted".

Well, if you're going to let Twitter look after your signalling...

Passengers who hold a travel pass or season ticket and who encounter recurrent delays or cancellations during its period of validity may request adequate compensation in accordance with the railway undertaking’s compensation arrangements. These arrangements shall state the criteria for determining delay and for the calculation of the compensation.

Compensation for delay shall be calculated in relation to the price which the passenger actually paid for the delayed service.

I take it from this that Annual Pass holders will be entitled to feck all compensation as the price they actually paid for the delayed service would be very little.

Do you think they should pay for everyone's taxi fare and throw in a cinema ticket?

A refund pro rata and a genuine apology. That's reasonable.

What's gone wrong with signalling in Heuston this morning?
