There is a passing loop in Sallins on the up side, on the Dublin side of the station where you in the loop ? its the only explanation that fits trains passing you in both directions
A train may be able to move but there are a long list of reasons why a train can be taken out of service. If the CAWS gear fails the train has to be taken out of service unless a second driver can be found. If the DSD (driver safety device) fails it can be isolated but it must be taken out of service
Clearly the correct course of action would have been to unload everyone in Sallins and reverse out in one go that would have in turn held up the 17:18 which is very very close behind. Very fishy
The only good news is the staff this time seemed to know how to work the emergency ground frame in Sallins, last time round they didn't and things when mad
