[08-10-08 17.48 northern line possible delays -

an accident on the line at Drogheda station is currently causing delays to the 16.50 Dublin-Belfast Enterprise. Its currently stuck outside Drogheda Station and delays are probably possible for later trains. I understand an ambulance has been called to the scene so as yet no time on the delay.

There is also significant disruption to Belfast Enterprise services.
