    Yesterday northbound dart and commuter trains were delayed by about 40 minutes due to a train waiting for the gardai at Blackrock station.

    Does anyone know what happened there yesterday? I am really curious to know!

    Three people "disorderly" on the DART apparently. Had to be removed by the guards.

    How does that merit 40 minutes? The station is 3 minute walk???

    Saw a post somewhere else from someone who was in the carriage. Said everyone in the carriage, including those removed, seemed surprised when the guards came on and took them off.

    Of course, 40 minutes after this happened the allegedly "real time" system was still merrily reporting that everything was running on time.

    I dunno but all I do know is that I stood at Pearse station for 40 minutes waiting for my train and was constantly told that the delay was due to a train waiting for the gardai to arrive at blackrock station. Dunno what you mean by a 3 minute walk??!!! walk from where??
