Plan all train journeys for Christmas and the New Year period

By Dan Walsh

There are many schedule changes on the Iarnród Éireann network, particularly in the Dublin region – far too many to list here – but the full schedule information throughout the Christmas/New Year period is available at www.irishrail.ie, and customers are advised to check their times before travelling on Intercity, DART and Commuter, as there are schedule alterations throughout this time on each day.

Due to track renewal works – Connolly to Grand Canal Dock closed from December 26^th to January 5^th inclusive. Iarnród Éireann is reminding customers of rail service arrangements over the Christmas and New Year holiday period.

In addition to schedule changes from December 24^th to January 1^st (New Year’s Day), inclusive, the late night DART and Commuter trains on New Year’s Eve, customers are reminded of the full track renewal of the line between Connolly and Pearse from December 26^th to January 5^th inclusive.

This will result in the line being closed between Connolly and Grand Canal Dock for the duration, with limited exceptions between Pearse and Grand Canal Dock for late night New Year’s trains, and daytime on Thursday and Friday, January 2^nd and 3^rd.

Customers are also reminded that pre-booking is strongly advised on Intercity services, particularly at busiest times.

No train services operating on any routes on Christmas Day Wednesday, December 25^th and St Stephen’s Day Thursday, December 26^th.

REMEMBER: Please check the exact times for your journey before travelling on all routes for all dates at www.irishrail.ie

We wish all our customers a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.
