[08/07/09] delays to all services through Malahide 7.30am-10am

[Rashers]

The 07.05 Pearse to Drogheda experienced a points failure at 07.20am at Malahide. This was delayed approx. 20 mins. This was pushed into the southbound platform at Skerries around 8am.
The 07.35 Connolly to Belfast was delayed directly behind this suburban train. This was delayed approx. 10 mins. This was stopped at Skerries to take on 1 passenger going to Belfast.
Not sure of impact to DARTs through Malahide between 7.20 and 8am.

The 07.10 Dundalk to Bray service was held for 15 minutes north of Skerries. This delay built after that, and it finally arrived into Bray 23 minutes late, at 09.36am (Due 09.13am). The driver did not make a single announcement during the entire delay while I was stuck on it.

I checked Irish Rail.ie, and at 09.27 it was showing all 7 Southbound services into Bray delayed, by up to 20 minutes.
