This could have been a huge loss of life
The 2355 Dublin Belfast special would have been close to 90mph in that section
You should never ever get out onto the tracks, but here is classic Irish Rail
1. For the type of crowd at the concert there were likely to cause some trouble. No security on the train
2. Irish Rail do not enforce the law, its an offence to be on the railway while intoxicated
3. Communication was a total mess, i.e. none
Then you have the Taylor Swift concerts... Again no security massive overcrowding
Fairly simple to isolate a door on a 29k, worst case you lock the coach out, taking the entire train out of service is a bit of an over reaction, however there are unconfirmed reports of other damage
