Garda insisted doors of stranded DART be opened due to 'distressed' passengers

On the day of the Bray Air Show in July a Garda told a train driver to open the doors to let stranded passengers out of a Dart. 

A garda insisted that the doors of a DART train stranded on the day of the Bray Air Show be opened with passengers inside already “distressed”.

A timeline of the events – which brought chaos to transport services – revealed that it took just six and a half minutes before the first passenger forced the doors of a train open after it came to a stop in sweltering conditions.
