Irish Rail boss Jim Meade has issued an apology after the chaotic scenes that saw commuters in packed DART carriages breaking open doors on Sunday.
Hundreds of passengers going to the Air Show were crammed into DART trains that had stopped near Bray station. Commuters reported being unable to breathe due to overcrowding and sweltering temperatures.
People, desperate for fresh air, forced open the DART doors and jumped onto the tracks which resulted in other trains being stopped. Customers on other trains that were stopped also did the same with a soldier telling Dublin Live how he had to break open the door "to protect the lives of our citizens".
