Monday's episode of Liveline brought tales of a 'spiral into chaos' on Irish Rail services last weekend

One listener even went as far as to state that travelling on the train to Bray from Dun Laoghaire"was like something out of Schindler's List".

A caller by the name of Damian described disembarking from the train and walking back to Bray along with his partner, two young children and a buggy. Barry Kenny, Communications Manager of Iarnród Éireann, was also a guest on the show and apologised for the distress caused by the event."To you, to your kids, to other people, we're very sorry this happened," Kenny said.The communications manager once again acknowledged the issues caused by passengers walking on the track but accepted that people"did not take the decision [to go on the tracks] lightly.

A second listener, Kevin, described the conditions in Bray as"so unorganised", and that it took him around four hours trying to get out of the town. Another passenger, Ray, said that the situation was"a masterclass on how to not transport a large number of people".Linda, a fellow listener, said that she had suggested to an international student she's hosting to visit the Bray Air Show, but when she arrived at the station, opted not to travel as the carriages felt"unsafe".
