ALERT: Irish Rail warns of reduced capacity on InterCity train services

Irish Rail has warned that there will be reduced capacity on an intercity train service this evening and tomorrow morning due to a mechanical fault. 

The national train service confirmed that the 19:35 Heuston to Galway service will operate at a reduced capacity this evening.

On Friday morning the 06:25 Galway to Heuston train will also have a reduced capacity. 

There have been a number of technical issues with trains in the past few days, with the 07:17am Portlaoise/Heuston service cancelled this morning. Alternative arrangements were organised to operate in its place. 

There was also no cross-border rail services today due to industrial action in Northern Ireland affecting Translink NI services.

A limited Enterprise service operated between Dublin and Dundalk only.

Weather issues also caused some signaling difficulties which caused a number of services to run late on Thursday morning. 

Passengers were also reminded that there will be bus transfers this weekend between Cork and Cobh/Midleton as line improvement works are completed.
