This is usually a pretty reliable one, but this mk3 sat down in Kildare, it was 20 mins before we got an announcement that there were engine problems and they were 'going to check the water levels and hopefully get moving'. Then another announcement 10 mins later that the train was experiencing engine failure. Then after watching 2 trains glide by us poor stranded folk, once 45 mins of pointless sitting had elapesed - we were told that....wait for it...'The engine has failed due to engine failure'. Class.

So all off to platform 2 to get the empty 18:40 to Thurles, to get the people for Monasterevin, Portarlington & Portlaoise home.

So 45 min delay, we won't be getting anything for that.
