You just reminded me. I was on the 20:45 Enterprise last Thursday. It stopped in Killester. It was there about two minutes when an announcement was made along the lines of, "We're really sorry for the delay. This is due to a signalling fault at Howth Junction. We'll be here for at least ten minutes, and we'll let you know as soon as we have more information."

This was followed by an announcement that they hadn't received any more information, but the doors had been released in case anyone wants to step out for a smoke.

It was still annoying to be delayed, but it made it a lot less unpleasent to be kept informed. I hope we can expect this to become the norm, but I doubt it.
