Thanks for that it makes investigation much easier
7:18 Drogheda Bray is rostered as a 8 coach 2600 type train, the railcar with the original DART style seats
Firstly the train set of the 7:18 (also the same as the dreaded 18:15 from Pearse) is the most unreliable train operating through Connolly, its broken down in all manner of ways in the last few weeks (
http://www.platform11.org/news/news....007&no=7.html). Its likely on Monday a 6 coach set was sent out as they still haven't fixed the coach which broke last Tuesday evening, they had lifted 2 coaches from the Rosslare line to fill the gap last week
So clearly Tuesday morning something else broke. No notice on the IE site. I don't blame the maintenance guys since they pushing the fleet as hard as it will go to cover the fact Irish Rail are short coaches, its not sustainable and there are ZERO suburban coaches on order
