[13-03-2007] 6pm - no northbound DART/Commuter services until ???

Mark Gleeson · 13-03-2007, 18:28

8 coach DART sitting in the southbound at Pearse since 18:22 still there

There is no reason not to operate from Lansdowne if not Sidney Parade by alternate reverse line working, it been done before

Colm Donoghue · 13-03-2007, 18:35

actually the train that arrived at 18:15 didn't depart at all and is still sitting there with "technical problems"

This reminds me of some post from some while back.

No update on IE site

Currently looks like a northbound train in the southbound platform in Pearse waiting to depart, edit it left 18:42 fully loaded

Next train is Maynooth on P2

Evening train to Rosslare is only now in Tara Street

IE have tweaked the online real time gizmo its more informative but the info isn't matching the trains going by

UPDATE 19:00 13-03-2007

Following an earlier technical fault on a DART service at Merrion Gates, all DART and Commuter services are experiencing significant delays.

Iarnród Éireann apologises for the inconvenience caused.

IE of course hiding the problems with the 18:15 to Drogheda

Strange the update occurred about 5 minuets after someone in IE read this thread

has this been sorted,mate tried to get the 17.10 from connolly. Said there'd be an hr delay,ended up getting the bus eireann to balbriggan

Major disruption at the moment. Amongst the list of cancellations are the 19.00 pearse to maynooth and return journey although the evening longford service did not leave blackrock until half six so that probably made connolly around seven. The 20.17 connolly to drogheda has been cancelled. The rosslare europort to drogheda train will call at all stations. Alot of southbound darts cancelled as well
