| Occurrence | Operational Irregularity between Ballybrophy and Lisduff, Co. Laois, 28th March 2024 |
| Occurrence Date | 28 March 2024 |
The investigation identified that whilst the holding track feature on the Mainline CTC workstation was not identified as significant factor in the incident and the behaviour of the system was known by signalmen. The risk of this feature masking a genuine fault or track circuit occupation was not included in training or briefing materials.
IÉ-IM to consider the inclusion in Mainline CTC training and briefing materials information on the holding track feature and the associated risk of overlooking a genuine track circuit occupation or fault.
