Real-time info delay is consistent with the train still being in Ballybrophy, of course Irish Rail saying nothing.

There is a known stone throwing problem in that area, but the train has CCTV on the back so probably have them caught.

Could be the windscreen has been cracked on the front of the Cork bound service rendering it impossible to drive towards Cork, so swap all passengers over, Cork trains pass each other near Ballybrophy.

If thats the case a totally logical solution but looks like a total joke to the passengers unless its explained clearly, which of course it won't be.

Will they have to use the footbridge or will Irish Rail have the cop on to use the island platform?
