Looks like the CTC blockhouse at the end of platform 2 Bray had an electrical fault leading to a fire

This building controls the signalling from Bray Head to north of Shankill.

Will continue till next weekend at the very least

1. 0630 and then every 30 minutes till 0830 train from Bray to Connolly/Howth
2. Between 0900 and 1630, a shuttle between Dalkey and Bray leaving Bray xx00 and Dalkey xx30. Note these trains will use the northbound platforms throughout
3. Limited evening service roughly every 45 minutes from 1700 (Dalkey) to Bray till 1941 from Dalkey
4. Full DART service between Howth/Malahide - Dalkey
5. NO service until further notice Bray Greystones. Limited shuttle bus services
6. No service south of Dalkey in the evening

Notes

Between Bray and Dalkey all trains will use the northbound platforms throughout
DART services will take 30 minutes to travel between Bray and Dalkey (slightly more in the Bray bound direction).
The ATP system is out of use so trains are limited to 15kph

Single line pilot man working is in place on the northbound track between Dalkey platform 1 and Bray. All the points in Bray are clamped so only a single route is possible.

Appears that several DART sets will be queued up at the Wicklow sidings at Bray so they can be fed into the route without need to move controlled points in Bray

All DART services will be limited to 15kph between Bray and Dalkey

The signalling between Bray head and Kiliney is totally dead

This morning was a disaster, every train leaving Bray was progressively more and more delayed

Is this something that could have been prevented? It seems worrying that something apparently very minor causes so much disruption.
