I was on the 5:05pm Tralee going to Ballybrophy.
The train driver was brilliant, providing us with information as soon as he could provide it. When we were allowed to pull into the platform at Portarlington we immediately boarded waiting buses to Portlaoise. On arrival at Portlaoise we boarded a train which already had the 5:00pm Cork passengers on board already, a bit crowded, people standing, understandable though.
To be fair to Irish Rail they handled it very well. They have no say on opening the line, I believe that is up to the emergency services and/or the police.
Got home at 9:12pm but who cares. I made it home tonight, plenty of other people will too, one person won't though. RIP.
