Default [01-02-10] 12-55 Arklow - Maynooth

Got on in Lansdowne Road.

All going fine. Between Tara Street and Connolly the driver says there is a problem on the train and we will all need to change trains in Connolly.

Just as we arrive into Connolly driver says signal fault and we need to transfer to platform 7 for our new train.

Doors open and we get off but people are getting on

No train there

So everyone starts getting back on the train again

Drogheda train pulls into platform 7

Nobody has a clue. Train says it is going to Maynooth.

sitting there and next thing train takes off and carries onto Maynooth.

That explains why the Maynooth Wexford train was a good 10 minutes late this evening delaying DART services
