Very very heavy snow in Dublin City Centre now, around Baggot Street and Leeson Street. I'm on the 10th floor of a building and it looks pretty much widespread across the city. It's sticking too because it has been so cold today.

Take it handy

17+ 114 back serving Blackrock

Appears the substation in Greystones has tripped out, its the only one which does not have a dual grid connection.

1235 Belfast-Dublin cancelled apparently without alternative transport 1410 ex Belfast running 46 minutes late due to line closure Belfast-Lisburn because of signal problems

I expect that means a 29K on the 1520 to Belfast and another one or a significant delay for the 1650

I thought they could cross the border with two drivers in the event of an enterprise failure. There was an 8 coach one in Belfast on December 5th

If we catch Irish Rail breaking NI law again there will be trouble

Irish Rail has NO exemptions from the rules and haven't applied for any.
