Howth-bound DART takes wrong fork at Howth Junction

I was on a Southbound DART at Tara Street about 2020 last night when there was a totally inaudible platform announcement. A minute later there was an in-train announcement where the driver indicated there were going to be delays. You could tell from his wording that it sounded like this was a serious problem (person/train incident by the sounds of things) which wasn't going away any time soon so myself and a few others jumped off the train and went to get a bus instead. As we were walking down the platform the beeps went, the doors closed and he pulled out . . .

It still made sense to get the bus as the train was likely to be sitting somewhere south of Dublin as whatever problem it was got solved.
