Really? I got off in Connolly so didn't see what happened next. I hope she's ok. Very distressing thing to happen, but I have to say the people around her were really great and did all they could to look after her so well done to them. I must reiterate that the door didn't fly open itself, rather the mechanism (or whatever you'd call it!) to open the doors became activated and as I said a man beside the button opened the door not realising that we weren't at Connolly yet.
I saw on the posts regarding the Mullingar trains that the passengers have complained several times about the lack of heat on the trains. I can totally understand this in the height of winter when you hop on an empty train and see where they're coming from, but by the time I get on at Coolmine the train is already roasting and becomes totally unbearable after that due to the overcrowding. You ask someone to open a window and invariably it's locked. This is only in winter time when yeah it may be freezing outside but on the train is a different story. This is why so many people are fainting and as was said yesterday I think, safety in my book doesn't only relate to how many times trains derail or crash. I think at the very least a train should be safe enough so that you can breath on it!
