this has been ongoing now for a few hours - any idea of cause ?
|
Bridge strike according to PA at Heuston
|
Line has reopened and services back operationg but with delays.
|
Although in Heuston they said it was a Bridge Strike I don't beleave it. If it was they would of said it on there website and twitter as it was out of there control. They used maintenance requirements which sounds to make more like a problem with the tracks.

Classic cover up routine.
Sounds more like something like a bridge has failed a routine inspection |

No onlne booking being accepted on Cork-Dublin route until further notice. |
Only one line currently in operation this evening between Mallow and Rathpeacon - possibly the same tomorrow. If so, delays are likely.

Single line working this morning.
The reason given was because of flooding yesterday. However, it seemed that the flooding had caused a problem for the cutting wall or an overbridge rather than the line itself. If it persists, they'd be as well off making the 6:15 leave at 5:45 rather than arrive into Heuston after 9am. Is there any merit in running Dublin services only as far as Mallow and then operating a shuttle on the single line? At least that way you know that nothing else is on there and you can avoid all the messing about on the points near Blarney. |
Any updates on this?
The Irish Rail site just seems to roll the resolution time on. Hopefully, it will be fixed by Friday :eek: |

this is becoming a scandal - no word of the cause yet the most profitable line in the country is being disrupted.
Both the 06.15 and 07.30 have 300+ passengers every weekday morning and people rely on getting to Dublin on time Anyone have the real story ? |

Its not a bridge strike, its not an embankment or flooding related. As per my post yesterday Quote:

It picks up at other stops too. Without figures from Irish Rail, we won't know the real numbers. I do know that some carriages are busier than others though.
Before they broke the connection at Limerick Junction, there were passengers standing from there. Now, it probably arrives into Dublin 80% full. I would wonder whether there's any merit in providing a connection from Clonmel at Limerick Junction if there isn't going to be one from Limerick. |
