Disruption to some Irish Rail services due to flooding

date-icon 08 Dec 2015  author-icon Posted by AA Roadwatch


Carrick-on-Shannon to Longford section of Sligo to Dublin rail line

According to Iarnród Éireann, the Sligo/ Dublin Connolly service between Longford and Carrick-on-Shannon is expected to remain closed due to flooding until at least Saturday (12th). The line has been closed since Sunday 6th Dec.

Alternative arrangements are in place for the following services as a result:

  • All Sligo/Dublin Connolly services in both directions will have bus transfers between Carrick-on-Shannon and Longford, resulting in delays of 30-60 minutes
  • The 16:00 Dublin Connolly/ Sligo service will be cancelled

Due to reduced availability of trains, the following Commuter Services will have reduced capacity:

  • 05:45 Sligo/ Dublin Connolly (Longford/ Dublin Connolly section)
  • 06:15 Longford/ Dublin Pearse (also serves commuter stops between Maynooth and Dublin Pearse)
  • 08:35 Drogheda/ Dublin Pearse (will be supplemented by extra service from Skerries to Dublin Pearse)
  • 17:05 Dublin Connolly/ Sligo (Dublin Connolly to Longford section)
  • 17:15 Dublin Connolly/ Longford (also serves commuter stops between Dublin Connolly and Maynooth)

Customers from stations between Maynooth and Connolly are advised to divert to other Commuter services where possible due to pressure on capacity on the 06:15 Longford/ Pearse service (departs Maynooth 07:30) and the 17:15 Connolly/ Longford service.

Athenry to Gort

In addition, the Athenry to Gort section on the Limerick/ Galway line is closed due to flooding.  Bus transfers are operating between Ennis and Galway as a result and this is expected to remain closed until at least Thursday (10th).
