The issue here is two fold
1. Irish Rail have left themselves in a very tricky position by not fitting more of their fleet with TPWS equipment, its off the shelf stuff
2. NIR where not on the ball, and didn't cop IE sneaking a train through
Penalties are severe
There has been numerous breakdowns and delays over the last 3 days, numerous replacement trains to the point of several of NIR's own trains spent the night in Dublin
The quickest solution would be to train IE drivers to drive NIR's C3K trains. It has become the case in recent days a NIR driver drives to Dublin and has to leave the train overnight in Dublin since IE haven't got staff trained to drive it back
