Narrative:

The problem occurred after landing at cincinnati on runway 18R. I heard what I thought was a clearance for a left turn onto taxiway M from runway 18R and then north on taxiway D. I cleared for traffic on runway 27 as we approached it on taxiway D. There was no aircraft on the runway. As our aircraft approached the hold line for runway 27, the first officer advised that we needed to hold short. I then brought the aircraft to a stop. The nose of the aircraft extended a few ft past the line. I advised the tower that we had crossed the line and requested clearance across runway 27. The tower then cancelled takeoff clearance for an aircraft that was still on the taxiway to runway 27 and cleared us across. We continued onto the gate. There were no further comments from the tower. Clearly, the sustained high workload of this flight added to the normal fatigue for the last flight of a full day in the air. Also, the distraction of an ill passenger may have played a role. Nevertheless, I am very attuned to the phrase 'hold short' and am very surprised that I apparently missed this instruction. Supplemental information from acn 634234: after landing runway 18R at cvg, exited taxiway M. Was given instructions to turn left on taxiway D, hold short runway 27. Read back clearance, was performing after landing checklist. Captain did not hear the hold short clearance. Had to yell to stop several times before he braked aircraft. Crossed over the hold short line approximately 15 ft, contacted ground, and aircraft taxiing onto runway 27 was told to cancel takeoff clearance. After being cleared to cross runway, taxied to gate. First officer should have confirmed captain heard and understood clearance before doing checklist.

Title: AFTER LNDG CVG ON RWY 18R AND XING RWY 27 ON ROLLOUT, AN MD88 PLT TURNS OFF THE RWY AND CROSSES THE HOLD SHORT LINES FOR RWY 27 WHILE TAXIING BACK TO THE GATE.

Narrative: THE PROB OCCURRED AFTER LNDG AT CINCINNATI ON RWY 18R. I HEARD WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A CLRNC FOR A L TURN ONTO TXWY M FROM RWY 18R AND THEN N ON TXWY D. I CLRED FOR TFC ON RWY 27 AS WE APCHED IT ON TXWY D. THERE WAS NO ACFT ON THE RWY. AS OUR ACFT APCHED THE HOLD LINE FOR RWY 27, THE FO ADVISED THAT WE NEEDED TO HOLD SHORT. I THEN BROUGHT THE ACFT TO A STOP. THE NOSE OF THE ACFT EXTENDED A FEW FT PAST THE LINE. I ADVISED THE TWR THAT WE HAD CROSSED THE LINE AND REQUESTED CLRNC ACROSS RWY 27. THE TWR THEN CANCELLED TKOF CLRNC FOR AN ACFT THAT WAS STILL ON THE TXWY TO RWY 27 AND CLRED US ACROSS. WE CONTINUED ONTO THE GATE. THERE WERE NO FURTHER COMMENTS FROM THE TWR. CLRLY, THE SUSTAINED HIGH WORKLOAD OF THIS FLT ADDED TO THE NORMAL FATIGUE FOR THE LAST FLT OF A FULL DAY IN THE AIR. ALSO, THE DISTR OF AN ILL PAX MAY HAVE PLAYED A ROLE. NEVERTHELESS, I AM VERY ATTUNED TO THE PHRASE 'HOLD SHORT' AND AM VERY SURPRISED THAT I APPARENTLY MISSED THIS INSTRUCTION. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 634234: AFTER LNDG RWY 18R AT CVG, EXITED TXWY M. WAS GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS TO TURN L ON TXWY D, HOLD SHORT RWY 27. READ BACK CLRNC, WAS PERFORMING AFTER LNDG CHKLIST. CAPT DID NOT HEAR THE HOLD SHORT CLRNC. HAD TO YELL TO STOP SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE HE BRAKED ACFT. CROSSED OVER THE HOLD SHORT LINE APPROX 15 FT, CONTACTED GND, AND ACFT TAXIING ONTO RWY 27 WAS TOLD TO CANCEL TKOF CLRNC. AFTER BEING CLRED TO CROSS RWY, TAXIED TO GATE. FO SHOULD HAVE CONFIRMED CAPT HEARD AND UNDERSTOOD CLRNC BEFORE DOING CHKLIST.
