Irish Rail announces reduced capacity for number of Limerick trains over the coming days

The changes will take affect on Saturday morning

Irish Rail has announced that a number of trains on the Limerick to Heuston Station line will experience reduced capacity over the coming days. 

A total of six trains will have reduced capacity, both arriving and departing from Limerick. 

The reason for the reduced capacity is due to a mechanical issue with a train that was planned to operate the impacted routes. 

Irish Rail have said that a shorter train will now operate for these services instead.
