Due to Storm Éowyn there will be no rail services anywhere on Iarnród Éireann network tomorrow (Friday) morning and for the duration of the Status Red warnings and disruption is expected afterwards.
Rosslare Europort will be closed from midnight until end of Status Red Warning.
Service information will be updated on web and social media throughout day
On Friday 24th January, Iarnród Éireann rail services and the operation of Rosslare Europort are expected to be severely disrupted – including cancellation of many services – because of the Status Red Warning issued by Met Éireann relating to Storm Éowyn.
Iarnród Éireann Intercity, DART and Commuter services, will not be operating tomorrow morning, and while the Status Red Warning is in place.
Rail customers should note that the times of the Status Red Warning from Met Éireann may change further, which will impact on services if so.
Services in the hours before and after the Red Warning takes effect are also likely to be severely impacted.
Iarnród Éireann crews will be assessing rail lines after the Status Red Warning clears to ensure it is safe to operate, and significant disruption is therefore likely after the Red Warning passes, with fallen trees and other debris likely to be extensive on rail lines. Services will only resume on each route when it is deemed safe to do so for customers and staff alike.
Iarnród Éireann is urging customers not to undertake any travel without checking that services are operational. The Iarnród Éireann website www.irishrail.ie and its twitter account @irishrail will be updated throughout the day.
