Was on a Howth-bound DART yesterday evening that arrived in to Howth Junction around 8:30pm, but on the Malahide-bound platform!

The timetable, online realtime display, station display at origin, external train display (at origin and at arrival) all confirm it was a Howth-bound DART.

I jumped off along with many other confused passengers. Not sure what if anything was done to resolve this, as I was able to walk to my destination.

What can cause this sort of error - does the driver control the signals / points?
