@IrishRail @PaddyTheFitzer But are they maintained? The air is fresh sure but not cool

Some trains have great AC others just push out hot air around. Thats poor maintenance

Lessons from the Bray Airshow incident still not learned

[Garda Info @gardainfo]

An Garda Síochána is aware of a fake email currently circulating purporting to be from the Garda Commissioner and the GNPSB.

This is a phishing email sent by criminals and not Gardaí.

Please ignore and do not respond to this email.

Gardaí will never contact you in this way.

@IrishRail Stuck at Seapoint nb with no movement. Doors open and freezing. Can see overtopping along southbound side.

[Rail Users Ireland @RailUsersIe]

Irish Rail seems to have given up on maintaining ticket machines

Here is Dún Laoghaire, both broken since December if not longer

Reports from multiple other stations with similar stories, can’t pay with cars at Skerries for over a week

We deserve better

[Rail Users Ireland @RailUsersIe]

Another masterclass from Irish Rail tonight

No extra trains listed for two separate events in Howth and Dún Laoghaire, a train broke down, signal faults

Large groups of passengers left behind

We deserve better, but as always nothing will change

@RailUsersIe @IrishRail @TFIupdates No announcement on board dart stopped outside of GCD @IrishRail @RailUsersIe maynooth train better not be gone when we get to Pearse 😕

[Colin Hayes @dougalch]

Leaf fall my arse... Dart just blew through Dalkey and next one over 10 mins wait. Really messes up day. @IrishRail @RailUsersIe @TFIupdates

[Iarnród Éireann @IrishRail]

The 07:42 Bray/Howth service this morning has been cancelled due to a technical issue onboard - MH

[Colin Hayes @dougalch]

🚨 Emergency Return

In the last 40 minutes, Aer Lingus flight EI764 / EIN76K from Dublin Airport to Tenerife has made an emergency return to Dublin directly after takeoff due to Engine Vibrations in the Number 1 (Left) engine.

They landed safely on runway 10R at 15:24.
The Airport Fire Service met the aircraft on landing as precaution due to the aircraft landing heavy.

@DeeCeeIRL There isn't much which can be done, but there are actions Irish Rail could take

Simple things like telling us the length of a train and stopping positions to spread the load

[Rail Users Ireland @RailUsersIe]

Bad few weeks on the rails & its not over yet. These problems will get worse before they get better

Why
1. Passenger numbers at record levels & climbing
2. Aging fleet, delays due to fleet issues tripled between 2023 & 2024
3. No nightly cleaning of rails outside Dublin

1/n

[Colin Hayes @dougalch]

@IrishRail Thanks CL I got one of those. Getting out of a tin of sardines into another is not appealing without understanding why. Little to no explanation is just not quite good enough this day and age. Have to say it's been a terrible day

[Colin Hayes @dougalch]

Ridiculous making people get off jam packed dart at Dunlaoghaire to wait for another over packed dart @IrishRail @RailUsersIe platform is bursting with people.

[Colin Hayes @dougalch]

@RailUsersIe @mytrainislate1 I have utmost admiration for the staff who have to deal with all sorts of tragedy/ incidents. We the travelling passengers would love to have real information about disruption. This would alleviate a lot of anxious families, passengers and also show confidence for staff #thought

[Colin Hayes @dougalch]

I want to commend the platform staff members who assisted a distressed young lady just now in Pearse st. @IrishRail
