[Mark Gleeson]

Lets look at this logically and use past experience

Running a railway is about a sense of order, time and money.

We know that it takes about 2 hours to clear the line after a train vs person incident, thats well known in the industry, BTP in the UK have a target to clear all scenes such as this in under 2 hours, I've seen it done in 90 minutes in Dublin

So we now know roughly when the line can be expected to reopen, IE failed to indentify or indicate this to the passenger, sure Barry Kenny will say it would be irresponsible to do this but this info is key to enabling the passenger to make a informed decision

We know IE had the trains, staff and signalling capabilty to operate a full service Hazelhatch Heuston, they didn't or if they did they didn't say so. This is like the usual if something goes wrong in Dalkey that Bray Greystones is also shut, its lazy inflexible staff and management

Its about that sense of order, if it goes wrong the least possible section should be effected, it shouldn't be used as an excuse for a mass shutdown, I would argue that Irish Rail are liable in the case of any Hazelhatch/Adamstown/Clondalkin/Cherry Orchard passengers as they failed to make reasonable effort to sustain the service where such was reasonably possible
