18.40 to Dundalk Brake failure
I got on the above service @ 18.30 last night. At 18.50 having gone no where, and with the Enterprise soon to depart, I rang Connolly information. They advised there was a brake failure, and this was under investigation. When I advised there was no information to passengers waiting on the train, she advised she would ring an inspector, which to be fair, she would seem to have done. However, at the same moment the driver was updating passengers, an automated destination announcement kicked in, meaning his announcement was unheard (it was the normal low volume/barely audible). We departed just before 7, with the usual stuck behide Northbound DARTs, which led to further delays. And of course the Enterprise was stuck behind us.
