Yes I was in Broombridge for the supposed 8:43 train to Connolly, an announcement was made saying that the train would be delayed by 40 minutes due to "operational" difficulties Ran round the corner to get the 120 to town

There was an empty train stuck outside of Maynooth station ( about 1km away ) at 845, it must be related.

The 06.20 Longford-Pearse took over an hour to complete the Edgeworthstown to Mullingar section and arrived at Connolly approximately 50 minutes late.
An announcement was made but it was inaudible.

Didn't know who to feel more sorry for - myself sitting for an hour going nowhere in the inhospitable surroundings of a 29000 - or the hundred odd passengers who were visibly frozen after standing for an hour on the Mullingar platform...

Winter has obviously come around early on the Sligo line this year.
