Back running now

Wonder what happened?
 
Any details on what happened? The nearest bridge is most unusual, in that 2 cars can only fit through at a squeeze. There is a very large land bank over the underbridge before you hit the railway line, hence it would an unusual event to close the line there...just curious..:confused:

Incident normally means train Vs person, bridge strike a separate issue

Got caught up in it today on the 9.50 service from Dundalk.

We stopped at Malahide at 10.50 (not a scheduled stop), and were quickly, though mumbily and barely audibly told that there was a bridge strike, and there'd be a delay. The women beside me (one of which was made late for her job interview :eek:) thought he said there was a strike on.

Got going again at 11.12 or so, bringing the pleasant 2900 journey neatly over the hour and a half mark...

These were two seperate incidents, one a bridge strike somewhere on the line around 11am which was nothing to do with the Skerries incident at around 12.30pm

A young woman was fatally struck by a northbound passing enterprise around Skerries station - may have been on the platform seconds before.
