[13/09/2010] Door Problems on 0545 Sligo - Dublin

[James Howard]

We had a 10-15 minute delay on the 0545 this morning due to a door problem, but I was wondering if anybody else had noticed an issue with doors on 22k trains recently.

When I was getting on the train this morning, the door closed in front of me but the driver hadn't hit the button as it was the only door that did it. I didn't notice the warning beep but I couldn't swear that it didn't go off.

The same thing happened to me about three weeks ago and again I didn't actually hear the beep. That time I got caught in the door but it gave up trying to close after a couple of seconds. I just put it down to the passenger ahead of me hitting the button with her bag. I wasn't terribly aware on either occasion but not to the extent that wisdom would have kept me off Morning Ireland.
