[Derek Wheeler]

Reports have come in that the 19.30 ex Cork service to Dublin had a problem en-route. Apparently a number of coaches filled with smoke and the train was halted between Charleville and Limerick Junction. The train is believed to be one of the new Mk4s. Unconfirmed reports say that the doors were opened to ventilate the train. Railcars were summoned from Limerick to the junction to provide cover. The last known whereabouts of the train, was in the vicinity of Knocklong, moving slowly northwards.

The exact cause of the smoke is currently unknown.
