    Radio reports that Someone jumped in front of a Train at Sandycove Station. There was also talk that he survived but no more news yet. All trains between bray and dun laoghaire are out.

    That's what i thought. I was on the southbound DART that was in the station at the time, we were stopped and the other DART came in horn blazing and then nothing for 10 minutes. Services were then suspended between Dun Laoghaire and Bray. While leaving the station it was clear that they were treating someone on the DART, but there were 4-5 ambulances and 1-2 fire trucks outside so there was definitely more to it than that.

    DART services are currently suspended between Dun Laoghaire and Bray, due to a person being struck on the line at Sandycove. The scene is being attended by the emergency services.
    Dublin Bus are accepting rail tickets for customers travelling to and from stations south of Dun Laoghaire.
    Iarnród Éireann apologises for the inconvenience caused.

    Was in the carriage he was brought on to. Left as soon as I could, didn't want to hear or see anything. I presume he was unconscious as I didn't hear anything, but they thought he was still breathing. I'm just glad I didn't see it - the northbound platform was busy enough and everyone I saw was in pieces after witnessing what happened.

    The horn went and the driver slammed on the breaks just as the train pulled into the station, so I don't think it was a last-second jump. Some people were saying he fainted but I don't see how that was possible.

    Horrific to experience, hope he's OK.
