Any thoughts on tomorrow's 16:00 set from Dublin? Scheduled DD, NIR railcar, 29 class, ICR, or wheelbarrow?

Not enough drivers certified for a Wheelbarrow

It would be simple enough for me

Well, the other day when i went north, the DD was a 6-car NIR railcar.

No matter, thought I; I'll be sure to get a DD back tomorrow. 

Sure enough - the following day the 16:00 DD was a THREE-car NIR set, with no working internet.

You might need to wait a while; Train services will remain suspended for the remainder of the evening with a phased return to service expected from mid-day tomorrow (4th October).

 

Local rail tickets will be accepted on bus services

Both Dublin ICRs appear to be in York Road?

Gawwwd. Wanted to take the grandson on a DD set tomorrow as far as Drogheda and back. Anyone know if there is the slightest chance that any normal DD service will be operating?
