That was in Pearse though and not for 3 hours. The 18:15 has some weird issues.

If this was the enterprise which had failed we would be quick to start pointing fingers as both IE and NIR have not put in the effort to really sort it out, but it wasn't it was the award winning Drogheda maintenance crew who have delivered a serious reduction in failures and in doing so provided an extra 2400 capacity at peak

We don't have all the information but if only one train had failed things would have been a lot easier but both tracks where blocked in the same place which means you can't go round also means dividing resources to fix two trains. We will have to wait to find out exactly what went wrong.

20:45 passengers seem to have been dealt with well, that can't be said of those on other trains who where left stuck between stations with no information
