There is a serious weakness in the track arrangement in Connolly, it is technically possible to block the entire station if you send a 8 coach train from P1 to Maynooth and it sits down half way
It appeared to be some class of track circuit failure in the P2/3 and carriage sidings
Couldn't find any details on the IE site at the time it happened
The clever will have noted that the Sligo train should have come in via the Midland line and parked out of the way beyond P7, its also 3 minutes faster than the Drumcondra approach
