![]() My friend was traveling on this service today and as the train was approaching Mallow the driver said that all passengers would have to change train due to a mal function in carrage 3. He also said the train will have to be hauled back to bentier to get an emergency service.
The train was a 3car set. Any idea of what happened?? Last edited by Jamie2k9 : 15-08-2010 at 23:46. |

![]() Doesn't make much as sense as the 17:50 left Mallow on time and arrived Heuston ontime.
Unclear if trains were changed at Mallow but even if that occurred it was still ontime at Dublin

![]() I also was suprised by this. When they get to Mallow there was a 6car waiting. You can make up about 20 minutes between Kildare and Hueston. The train only had to stop in Limerick Junction and Thurles.

![]() Within Irish Rail's definitions at no point was the train late.
It was 8 minutes down leaving Mallow, 7 at Limerick Junc, 4 at Thurles and appeared to reach Heuston a minute or so early

![]() As I said it doesn't make sense
It was probably some class of swap to keep the 3 coach set in Kerry. Next question if a train breaks down and you change trains but arrive on time, is it a cancellation? "operate as planned?"
