Wheelchair-bound man left alone inside dark train in an empty station

Gerard Gallagher was left alone inside a train carriage at Connolly Station in Dublin because there was no staff available to help him disembark. All other passengers had departed already.

According to him, he pressed the emergency buttons at the location inside the train, and also at a nearby toilet, but no response was forthcoming. It would be nearly half an hour later that a cleaner heard him shouting for help, and he raised the alarm.

Mr. Gallagher filed a formal complaint to Irish Rail last week.
