13/09/2017 Derailment Dun Laoghaire

[Mark Gleeson]

Something went wrong

The RAIU will find it out, somewhere, someone in Irish Rail messed up, thats the only certainty in all this. No third parties involved thats a certainty the derailment happened under degraded operating conditions.

Once that is done the CRR will circle around and decide if legal action or other enforcement measures are to be taken against Irish Rail.

I hope that the investigation really exposes the failings of Irish Rail in this, honestly I just had a look over at Boards and some of the things which I have seen there make me despair, you would think that customers self detraining is seen as the biggest problem in the whole incident rather than the poor comms and also how this incident was to happen in the first place.

I despair about IR really they're just not a customer focused operation in any shape or form when disruption happens and the worst thing is that they don't even want to recognise and address their own failings, no surprise that there are questions about the culture in that company.
