All the way in from Killester (9.28), announcements about DART being delayed due to overhead line problems. No idea how long delay will be. Then: A few trains in front of us, delay, don't know how long. This continued until we were stopping in Connolly (09:54): This train terminates here. Everyone off.
Walked across to Pearse, where I overheard the idiot ticket checker advising someone going to Malahide to get a bus there. "Could I not walk over to Connolly and get a DART from there?". "Oh yeah, sure, if that's what you want". (Uh, yeah, it's way quicker?) After that I wasn't going to trust him on how long until the next southbound DART, so I got the bus. TV screens in both Connolly and Pearse showed that trains were running between them. As far as I can make out there's nothing running south from Connolly or north from Tara |

If you're dumped off your train in Connolly, and there's no further southbound trains for two hours, is it refund time?

Yes you are
However services seem to be running from Pearse to Bray without too much trouble So either you do the 15 minute walk to Pearse, (Connolly - Mayor Street - Cross Liffey by new bridge - Westland Row) or walk to O'Connell Street and get the 4,5,7,7a,7e,8,45,63,84,145 |

What actually happened
A southbound DART service operated by a original German built set got into trouble and came to a halt opposite Irish Life
Passengers onboard where transfered to a DART on the northbound track by placing the wheelchair ramps between the doors The Connolly to Tara Street southbound line was closed |
