Back running since about ten past eight. Got the eight o clock to maynooth. Was told go to connolly worker there said platform seven. Got to connolly platform six half the train got off. Some got on the train standing at seven without looking at the pis others waited. Announcement came maynooth was seven. Straight away doors closed train went to pearse with people still on board.

Second in two days, lovely photo in the indo yesterday of one.

Hauliers excuse was classic:

There's plenty of room for that truck, its not my fault if they put extra tar on the road, or chippings. (parahrasing here) thus reducing the clearance.

And, theres a dip there that makes the trailers bounce.

And of course its not as if IE don't understate the clearance anyway by a fraction to avoid this
