I was on the 8:05 ex Greystones which was running under green signals but was about 4 minutes down for reasons unknown before the farce began
I had to step out at Sydney Parade to let people out and spotted a train ahead in Sandymount, we then stopped outside Sandymount for 6 minutes, no PA made, train rolls into Sandymount, there is a broadcast message to all drivers didn't get most of it but Lansdowne was mentioned.
We then got PA of passenger ill at GCD, we then rolled off and stopped outside Lansdowne for a bout 3 minutes and then strangely normal service into Pearse with a green signal
I can confirm 1 female passenger being cared for by Dublin Fire Brigade Ambulance personnel on platform 2 GCD, passenger sitting up on platform bench not in any way distressed, passenger loadings on the DART northbound reach peak between Blackrock and Booterstown, beyond Sandymount you loose a awful lot of people so I can't understand a passenger collapsing in GCD
After the Maynooth train due through Pearse at 8:50 nothing went south for a good 15 minutes. One question is did they send a northbound train wrong line through GCD to overtake, if they didn't they should have
