Train pulled into platform 4 in Connolly and no announcemnt about it.

The next greystones dart was cosy to say the least as the 7.15 Maynooth to Connolly arrived before the dart so we had 2 Maynooth trains on the one dart

Was on the 05:45 from Longford to pearse today,
Seems like the brakes went on fire or something like that.

I was in the 2nd last carraige and I noticed the smell at about lexlip when someone opened the window.. in my sleepy haze I thought I might have had my runners too close to the heater..
Then at each stop the smoke from the brakes was getting worse and worse until at Drumcondra the driver or someone from IR had a look at it, shook his head and tutted a bit and then drove off to connolly..

Is it normal practice to drive on with smouldering brakes? Or were they more worried about passenger backlash than safety?
