In the case of Drogheda and the previous incident in Portlaois the location of the derailment was the real issue. Previous incidents in Fairview went unnoticed as there was another way in and out.

We don't know if this was a simple trap point derailment, an on train issue, e.g wheel profile, axle failure or a points issue. No photos from yesterday so no informed speculation either
