I was on the 0805 ex Leixlip Louisa Bridge when it failed between Phoenix Park and Ashtown. I contemplated the leftover Metros, advising us all that one sausage a day "can cause cancer".
There was an announcement after twenty or so minutes advising us of a problem and with the usual rider that "Iarnrod Eireann apologises for any inconvenience caused". Of course the train at that time of the Monday after Easter week must have been stuffed with gricers looking for a diesel run to Bray, so I suppose it was best that Irish Rail's man on the spot decided to hedge his bets that there wasn't really a train load of peed off commuters texting like mad that they were going to be late.
We eventually moved on and I got off at Drumcondra, not wanting to chance another contemplative wait for the platform at Connolly.
