Petty much the normal service then !

There may have been points problems but not at Howth Junction - empty DART for 0807 from Malahide didn't leave Fairview until 0755 and turned back at Clongriffin. Yes I know Malahide is less than 8 miles from Fairview and a non-stop DART should have been able to get to Malahide in less than 10 minutes but ...

Also level crossing fault between Sutton and Howth. 0605 & 0715 from Howth cancelled between Howth and Howth Junction. Incidentally trains could have operated from Bayside following last October's signalling changes - poor operational response yet again.
