15.45 service from Howth to Bray (today, Sunday 6 May)

After we passed Clontarf Road, the electronic sign in the carraige remained stuck on Clontarf Road. Meanwhile, the voiceover kept announcing the station that was two stops ahead - as we pulled into Connolly we were told that we were arriving at Pearse, as we arrived in Pearse we were told we were arriving into Lansdowne Road, etc. There were a lot of tourists and visitors on the train who were understandably perplexed and confused.

1) Can the driver head the announcements being made? Does the driver in fact control the announcements?
2) This seems to be a problem on the 8500, 8510 and 8520 Classes but not the 8100s
