An Irish soldier has told of how he broke open the door of a DART train "to protect the lives of our citizens".
There was major delay to DART services yesterday as passengers disembarked from a DART stalled near Bray train station at 14:55 following reports of very hot conditions on board. And a soldier on board, who wishes to remain anonymous, spoke to Dublin Live about the situation on board the train - and said if he "didn't act people would have been seriously injured".
He said: "At approximately 13:40, I boarded a train at Salthill-Monkstown with my mother, who is 72, and my two sons. We had planned to Park and Ride to Bray DART Station after being encouraged by the Department of Transport to do.
