The 1805 to Maynooth was also cancelled 'due to earlier unit failure'.

EVENING HERALD 31st OCTOBER
Thousands of early morning commuters were hit with hour-long delays on their way into work after a faulty commuter train caused the suspension of the Dart service in both directions.
Rail chiefs had to stop all services running between Blackrock and Bray from 6am today on both sides of the tracks because a train had broken down at Dun Laoighre station LAST NIGHT.
The 6.45am service from Gorey to Dublin was also cancelled as a result of the disruption.
Thousands of workers were hit with lenghty delays as they tried to make their way into the city centre while Iarnrod Eireann worked to resolve the issue.
Spokesman Barry Kenny said commuters were able to use their tickets on buses. "Dublin Bus is accepting all rail tickets and we hope to solve the situation shortly but obviously we can't specify an exact time" he said earlier today.
"We discovered a fault on a commuter train late LAST NIGHT and that's what caused the problem and we would like to apologise to anyone affected".


I'm sorry but if it takes this long to clear a failed train well then Irish Rails measures are completly ridiculous. Barry Kenny himself said the incident happened the previous night so why the hell was this not sorted out in time for the rush hour. We've heard all the propaganda about railcars been more reliable than locos.
Fair enough there are back up engines but when there is a complete failure it seems to cause chaos. These 2800s need to be sent to Limerick ASAP for some serious punishment! These are becoming just as unreliable and gaining as poor a reputation than the 2700s, along the same route. Ridiculous carry on.
