Its went so badly wrong over the weekend
The 7:35 Dublin Belfast suffered a parking brake sensor fault near Portadown, after a rather shuddery stop the guard with hand lamp ran through the train from the control car, was fixed and got moving again
The 10:30 out of Belfast being the same set suffered a relapse and was brought to a halt at least once more
Sunday brought a security alert so the 10am train (same set as the troublesome one on Sat) ran via the Bleach Green line to Antrim to Lisburn. This train then sat down near Dundalk and arrived Dublin close on 4pm
