Mark,
what gets to me is that we were about 300m from Sallins station(on the up track!!).
They could have brought us in to Sallins and let the 17:18 pick up passengers for Newbridge
The 17:30 could have picked up Kildare and Portarlington(extra stop) passengers
The 17:50 could have take the rest(Tullamore,Clara and Athlone).
I dont know what the problem with the train was but the engine appeared fine as it was able to push the train back out of the station.
