Major rail works, currently being undertaken, are expected to bring disruption to train journeys this coming Halloween Bank Holiday weekend.
Due to a series of track and signalling works taking place, Iarnród Éireann have warned customers that a revised timetable will come into effect this October Halloween Bank Holiday weekend, and those expecting to travel, using the service, are being advised to book in advance.
These major works will be taking place, affecting Cork, Kerry and Limerick services, from Saturday afternoon to Monday morning.
The line between Portarlington and Thurles will be closed from 14:30 on Saturday.
All services between Dublin and Cork, Kerry and Limerick will be part-replaced by bus transfers, thus resulting in this revised schedule.
Note: Services between Cork and Dublin (Heuston) will operate on a revised schedule, with bus transfers between Thurles and Kildare set to operate in both directions.
People are being asked to please check time schedules before making essential journeys with full details to be shown online at www.irishrail.ie.
Direct services between Limerick and Dublin (Heuston) are cancelled. Journeys between Limerick and Dublin Heuston, involving a change at Limerick Junction, will have bus transfers between Thurles and Kildare, in both directions.
Direct services between Tralee and Dublin (Heuston) will operate as follows:
Saturday: 17:05, Heuston Station, Dublin to Tralee will operate between Mallow and Tralee only.
Sunday: 08:30 Heuston Station, Dublin to Tralee will operate with bus transfers between Thurles and Kildare. Commuter services between Portlaoise and Dublin Heuston will involve bus transfers between Portlaoise and Portarlington in both directions.
Irish Rail apologise to their customers, in anticipation of any inconvenience brought about by these essential repairs and updates.
