Generator van was functional leaving Dublin, most coaches had working heating others did not, thats a long running thing

There are no reports of lighting failure which would indicate a failure of both generators did not occur

Everyone seems fixated with the fact this was an old train, a modern train is more than capable enough of failing in a similar way, in fact modern trains when they suffer a major failure tend to die completely leaving you stranded.

The new trains line is a cop out, no one is complaining about the fact the train broke down (trains always will) but about the lack of information, lack of refreshments, delay in getting rescued and so on matters which are totally independent of the train type
