I got a DART southbound from Blackrock at about 17:55, which must be at least an hour after the problem occurred.
At that stage, the platform sign were indicating my DART as going to Howth, while the next one was correctly marked as Tara St.
I looked out at a few stations on the way in, and each of them showed the DART as going to Howth.
The driver made one announcement somewhere around Sydney Parade, but anyone who got on after that thought the train was going to Howth until he announced again just before Tara that the train was terminating there and becoming a southboubd train. when I got off at Tara, platform display said Howth.
The other thing they never tell you in these situations, and I'm dumb enough to fall for it each time, is that even getting the DART to Tara is going to take you twice as long as usual. Delays are never mentioned.
