While on the 8.15 ex Donabate to Bray the train came to a halt at Clontarf Road.

Within 2 minutes the driver came on to say that due to points failure between Connolly and Pearse (Tara?) and that there were delays on all trains travelling through Connolly.

After about 15 minutes, we pulled into Connolly where the driver informed us that due to Signal Failure between Pearse and Grand Canal Dock there were delays.

I ended up arriving at Lansdowne at 9.30, about 40 minutes late.

Do you think that there were two separate engineering issues here or do you think that the driver had wrong informtion?
