Usual mess from Irish Rail, failure to resort to the back up procedures leaves people stranded.
How on earth did Maynooth Sligo go wrong, its not even controlled from Dublin its controlled from Mullingar. If Dublin losses control of the North Dublin system it can be controlled from Drogheda

I was surprised nobody mentioned this last week so I will now, Last Wednesdays 18.30 Dublin Rosslare service arrived into Gorey at 21.55 because of the signal faults. The train stopped between Greystones and Kilcoole with a red signal and sat there for 55-60mins. The train traveled backwards to Greystones were literally everyone got off and had a cigarette. The signals also at Greystones were red so the DART could not proceed to its schedule. At least everybody onboard got free tea/coffee and snacks from the trolley free of charge for the massive delay.
We arrived into Wicklow station at 21.10 If I was frustrated with the delay I could image the people at Wicklow they were seating there since 19.42
just thought i'd add to the above signal faults.
