I was on that train. I have never experienced the likes of it. The mass of bodies in the last carriage had it so hot. I got on in Pearse after getting away early for the afternoon. It immediately was overcrowded and the extra people getting on in Tara, Connolly and Raheny made it even worse.

As we waited for ten minutes in Connolly, one Northbound DART came into Connolly and was able to overtake us. I didn't think the run out the route was that speedy. The 10 minute delay in Connolly was simply unbearable. The pressure was relieved a bit in Malahide where plenty of people got off although a good few got on as well.

I was never as glad to see Donabate in my life.

When we got off, the platform display said something the lines of "This train will be a reduced service. Iarnrod Eireann would like to apologies for any difficulties caused." so it is obviously not the norm.

Made me wish I had had to sit in work untill 5 on Friday!
