They had bus transfers orgnaised but they wouldnt let us walk on the line. There train had develped a tecional problem in Muine Bheag with the brake disks in one carrage and there was a bruning smell. This was the carrage behind the engine after we left Kilkenny. It would be one of the best part of the line to pck up speed so was quiet an impact. I was on the train from 18:25 until 1:50am and we had to get two engines send to the train.
