Have to agree - very large crowds waiting on platforms. Announcements seem to be restricted to city centre stations only. The delays grew to 30 minutes for northbound DARTS and Northern suburban services, if they originated in Bray/Greystones.
They were blaming leaves on the track, but the length of the delay seemed very high for this. I have certainly never heard of so many trains, so late, over such a long period in the recent past...

Actually at 21.00, there are still 15 miinute delays to services through Bray
