Had the misfortune to get this train yesterday ! It stopped at Hazelhatch & stayed stopped for 25 mins before one of the ticket lackeys appeared & announced that the engine had failed & we had to wait for a replacment from Dublin ! 45 min later a replacement arrived and the "failed" engine started up and headed back to Dublin at speed ! ! ! ! not bad considering it was broke down.....again kudos to IE for the total and utter lack of communication to the passengers during this most recent ordeal !!

this had a knock-on effect - I was on the 17:25 towards Limerick, we stopped before Adamstown and there was announcement apologizing for the delay telling us that the Waterford train had broken down outside Hazelhatch, and there were three other trains delayed. We eventually got clearance to continue and I arrived in Kildare about 20 minutes late.
