[12/09/2011] Limited DART service between Bray/Greystones and Pearse

Irish rail saying on their twitter page that there is damage to the overhead wires and as a result a limited DART service is running between pearse and bray/greystones.

They are saying tickets currently being accepted on dublin bus until further notice in the areas affected

Combination of wind and Irish Rail

Someone dug up the overhead feed cables at Dun Laoghaire on Sunday morning, so the substation there is off line so there is a risk of a trip out of the overhead system if several 8 coach trains put the foot down hard at the same time.

Its impossible to coast through the section Dublin bound especially from platform 3 so problems are likely here

Services are running Bray - Howth/Malahide as normal currently
