Moo-vement disrupted: Irish Rail 'not talking bull' about train chaos
The bovine was clearly late for its morning commuter train and forgot about train etiquette (perhaps they were born in a barn) as they proceeded to get on the line between Dunboyne and Hansfield.
Iarnród Éireann confirmed shortly before 8am that the M3 Parkway to Docklands service was delayed after the cow went on the line, and after a staggering nine updates which included delays on several routes. Irish Rail made sure to tell passengers that they weren't bulling them when a number of trains were stopped due to a cow on the tracks. Pic: Irish Rail/X
In its final update, Iarnród Éireann said that a 9am journey between Docklands to M3 Parkway was cancelled, with the services between Hansfield and Clonsilla resuming shortly before 10am, albeit at least 16 minutes delayed.
While most wouldn't believe such a story of a cow on the line causing such chaos, someone at Iarnród Éireann had the great idea to help those who may have been late to work as a result; sharing a photo of the cow on the line.
'In case you thought we were talking bull…' they joked alongside a photo of the aforementioned cow. @lineworkbyshane Never a dull day. Don't think your supposed to be there pal#fyp #train #travel #ireland #dublin ♬ Jet2 Advert – ✈️A7-BBH | MAN 🇬🇧
It turned out, however, that they wouldn't have even needed to get a photo of the cow, as someone on TikTok managed to grab a video of the bovine intruder on the platform (to the tune of Nothing Beats a Jet2 Holiday, of course).
Amazingly, this wasn't the only animal on the line at the same station; as a horse got on the line at the same time as the cow.
Unfortunately, there was no chicken to really make people believe it was a cock and bull story.
All in a day's work for our great Infrastructure teams 🐂🐎Bulling to get to work at Hansfield but staying behind the yellow line, and Nigel is a horse of a man helping another stray from the line near Leixlip.
Men and beasts safe and well. 🦺👍 Apologies for resulting delays. pic.twitter.com/vjT1tV3eQl
