I have noticed over the last few years that Irish Rail appear to have no organised plans for breakdowns. Thankfully this seems to be pretty rare on the Sligo line but when it does happen, it takes an inordinate amount of time to rescue a breakdown.
I had a look at the Indo to see what idiotic drivel they had written on the incident and the article itself actually seemed to be mainly factual. I'm sure they'll get around to doing the dramatic stupid version in the next couple of hours. They do have a picture of a driving van at Newry captioned "The fire broke out in the engine of the train, which is similar to this one".
