Changes to Louth rail services for August Bank Holiday weekend

Iarnród Éireann is reminding commuters in Louth that major works taking place this weekend will mean changes to the Northern Commuter / Enterprise services across the August Bank Holiday weekend.

Due to a series of scheduled works taking place between Malahide and Dundalk from Saturday 2 to Monday 4 August inclusive, including track renewal works, overhead line works for new battery-electric trains and track works at Drogheda, and accessibility works at Rush & Lusk, the following service alterations are in place across the August Bank Holiday weekend:

• Dublin to Belfast Enterprise: Services will be replaced by bus transfers between Dublin and Drogheda/Dundalk to a revised timetable.  Check irishrail.ie for details, and revised times.
• Dublin to Drogheda/Dundalk Commuter: No trains will operate between Malahide and Drogheda/Dundalk.  A limited bus substitution service will operate with full details at irishrail.ie – it will operate two routes between:
  •  Drogheda, Balbriggan, Donabate and Connolly
  •  Skerries, Rush and Lusk, and Connolly

Iarnród Éireann is also reminding customers of revised train times across the August Bank Holiday weekend on other services, including 

• Additional DART services for the Bray Air Display (Saturday 2 August)
• On Saturday and Sunday, track works for the installation of a second track between Glounthaune and Midleton will continue, with bus transfers operating between the two stations
• On Saturday, bridge works between Roscommon and Ballyhaunis, with bus transfer operating between the two stations for Dublin / Westport services
• From Sunday, to facilitate Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann events taking place on Wexford Quay, Dublin Connolly to Rosslare Europort services will operate from Dublin Connolly to Wexford, with bus transfer arrangements for customers travelling to/from Rosslare Strand and Rosslare Europort
• General bank holiday service changes across all routes

Customers are advised to check times before travel for Bank Holiday service alterations at www.irishrail.ie and the Iarnród Éireann app.
