[22/10/2012] -5pm Enterprise failure

[Rashers]

There was a failed Enterprise set sitting on the southbound platform with a locomotive attached to the Driving Car end. This was around 17.40. Blocking southbound Northern suburban trains and DARTs.
Not sure if the 16.50 Connolly to Belfast failed, or this was the 2pm ish Belfast to Dublin? Nothing on the IE website. Any thoughts?

It was the 14.10 Belfast-Dublin service, did you see if it had an EGV on it?

Any does anyone know what operated the 16.50 as it was not an entreprise set. Was it the 22 or 29?

Probably had an EGV, apparently 4 x 2900s substituted for the 1650 - the 1707 Connolly/Balbriggan being cancelled. Service departed at 1656 and followed the 1644 Pearse to Drogheda. Really low end service.

Several disasters on the Cork line also, first arrival from Dublin around 1128. The 0700 from Dublin appears to have failed at/near Limerick Junction. The 1330 from Cork appears to have failed at/near Portlaoise.

IE seem to go through phases of lots of trian failures at once then no failures at all for ages, there has being ICR, Mark 4 and Entreprise failures over the last week or so. Very strange..

Failure yesterday was near Malahide and looked to be loco or push pull issue.

Since the EGV's arrived there has been a modification which makes it a lot easier to tow the train from the DVT end

07:00 Dublin Cork hit a wheelslip issue as the first train of the day on the line

1700 to Cork was a 22k yesterday.
