Found this in the Sligo weekender http://www.sligoweekender.ie
THERE were more headaches for train commuters from Sligo to Dublin this week.
Passengers were stranded on the afternoon Sligo to Dublin train for over three hours after the train broke down outside Collooney.
The train left MacDiarmada Station in Sligo at 1pm, but came to a stop about a mile before Collooney Station.
The passengers were left on the train until after 4pm, as it was considered unsafe to take them off.
Iarnrod Eireann then sent a replacement engine from Dubin to tow the train into Collooney Station.
Passenger then continued the journey by bus to Dublin from Collooney. The overall delay lasted for over three hours.
The train was packed with passengers, and Iarnrod Eireann say they will all be entitled to a full refund.
As a result of the breakdown, the 3pm service from Sligo to Dubin is now also being delayed.
This follows delays all last week when commuters had to take the bus due to parts of the track being flooded.
The problem is set to continue this week with parts of the track still submerged in rain water
