hmmm... thought we'd just made the 21:00 to cork (well, Kildare, but it beats the every-stop-arrow) only to be evacuated from the train on platform 4 and moved onto the train on platform 5, "technical difficulties" being cited as the reason. Failed train was 4004, eventually departed at 21:35

21.00 Heuston / Cork departed at 21.30 – sets switched due to fault on train. Loco 229 needed fuelled at Heuston.

Which of course can be done at the platform in Heuston

4004 ran the 13:00 Hueston Cork on Friday and despite it lying idle for 15 hours they didn't even give it a wash
