Default Belmond Grand Hibernian train breaks down on first trip

http://www.irishtimes.com/business/t...trip-1.2779396

Sound familiar? The train has been out and about for a few weeks, so that it breaks down on the maiden voyage seems strange.

The article clearly says the issue was with the doors on the coaches.

As I understand it the rolling stock is Belmond's own responsibility - IE are only responsible for the loco.
