Another rail melt-down in Dublin: Passengers left in limbo for the second night in a row

All DART and commuter services have been halted, due to a major signal problem between Drogheda and Greystones.

DART AND COMMUTER services have been suspended in the Dublin area between Drogheda and Greystones for the second night in a row.

Irish Rail has just issued the following update to passengers:

Services were eventually restored last night, and trains recommenced with delays before 7pm.

Frustrated passengers have been letting Irish Rail have it with both barrels on Twitter this evening, as a result…

@IrishRail two days in a row I'm going to miss my connection because of this sort of shite.
