- - [25/10/2011] Connolly, DART, Luas - disruption potential (http://www.railusers.ie/forum/showthread.php?t=13880)

i'm not sure, a guy i work with was notified of this at 18:30. apparently his partner was stuck on a train for an hour and a half and were then told to get off the train.

Just had an unconfirmed report from someone who got a Northern suburban train at 17.00 approx. that they still are stuck north of Connolly(19.30), and have yet to make it back to Connolly - 2 and 1/2 hours later. I'd have to question if that is correct, as that seems extreme.

services resuming except for howth junction-howth

The 16.50 Bray to Drogheda which normally arrives into Skerries at 18.07ish, has just arrived at 21.00, just under 3 hours late, per Real Time information on IE website.
The website seems to be missing many of the services between this service and 20.00, so not sure where they are??
