    "Incident" seems to always be code for "person hit by train". Details are almost never released about these incidents.

    Are those running to those stations on time though? Because that'd work out for me...

    There's already a thread on this. Also, Belfast customers will be bussed to Drogheda/Dundalk and join a train there, as they always are in these cases.

    But yeah, there should be some integration between IE, DB and local authorities so when this kind of thing happens, extra buses are laid on to serve the closed stations. There should be some actual planning being done for these forseeable events. IE know the points at which they can stop services(where trains can be easily reversed), so it shouldn't be too hard to come up with a plan for various cases and locations.

    Oh, and as I typed this, twitter announces services are back going again. No DART Howth Jtn to Howth though.

    Boy struck by Dart treated for injuries

    A 10-year-old boy was treated for serious leg injuries after being struck by a Dart at about 4.50pm yesterday. The boy fell from the platform as a northbound train arrived at Howth Junction station in north Dublin, an Iarnród Éireann spokesman said.

    Emergency services brought the boy to Beaumont Hospital where he is being treated for leg injuries. All trains were suspended through the junction for half an hour, including Dart, commuter and enterprise services. Services between Howth junction and Howth were suspended until 5.55pm.

    Iarnród Éireann will investigate the incident.
