Hi,
There were delays into Heuston, starting with the 0645 Kildare to Heuston. There was a freight train failed at/near Sallins following the path of the 0515 Athlone-Heuston. This caused the 0645 to wait in Heuston until the failed loco was cleared from the line.
The ticket checker made it sound like it was a double headed freight (Assumed 141/181 double) and the live loco removed the dead one.
0645 arrived 50 mins late into Heuston. Assuming all subsequent trains late by similar amounts. Heuston was empty when 0645 arrived, on Platform 1 to make matters worse.
0740 Heuston-Kildare cancelled, 0645 became 0825 Heuston-Kildare.
Regards,
KC
