I was in Malahide at one stage. Most DARTs terminate on the inbound platform. We were advised to go to the far platform. Almost immediately a DART EMU shows up on the inbound platform. People get worried. Immediately after a DMU shows up next to it, on outbound platform, where everyone is waiting - and worrying, as the destination states "Mullingar". I ask the driver if the train is going to Connolly to which he replies, "No, Dundalk". The EMU was "early" and had to block either the inbound or outbound DMU.

One has to be careful doing this (and dealing with gurriers) as you don't want to combine heart failure and train failure between stations.
