The cover up on this was pretty immense down to falsifying the reliability numbers for that reporting period

Just so Irish Rail don't change the numbers we have screenshot attached

Numerous cancellations and bus transfers yet the public record says nothing happened

For the record the offical engineering summary reads as

"localised collapse of a stone slab resting on two spandrel walls"

I thought everybody know about this hole for ages, No?

Another stupid headline from the Indo. Fridges come in many shapes and sizes. Wouldn't expect anything less when it comes to transport articles..
