Major disruption North of Dublin today.

[D6130]

There is major disruption to all train services between Dublin Connolly and Drogheda/Howth this morning due to overhead line problems somewhere between Clontarf Road and Malahide. No DART services are running North of Clontarf Road and no Commuter or Enterprise services are running between Drogheda and Dublin Connolly. Replacement bus services are being provided for Enterprise services only. Does anyone know the location, nature and time of the incident please?

600 meters of power line came down (according to RTÉ) . Possibly caused by a defective pantograph (my interpretation).
"Several roof-mounted arms that connect the train to the overhead electrical wires were damaged, along with around 600 metres of power lines."

It's very hot today. OLE sags in heat.
