0730 dart from Greystones this morning - no lights at all. Nice and dark going through the tunnels, and a nostalgic reminder of old cravens that regularly suffered from this problem (minus the boiling steam that used to emerge from the seats and burn your arse).

seriously though - surely this is a safety issue - what if the Dart had to stop in a tunnel? It was a newish train as well (one of the japanese Darts with the cramped seats).
