[18-11-2007] Cross border disruption
 
Enterprise - Service Disruption 18-Nov-2007 10:28
Translink wish to advise passengers that the Dublin Line is currently closed between Dundalk and Newry due to a boulder on the Line.

An update will follow.

[I posted this at 1026. Translink's clock always seems to be a few minutes fast on their website reports]

Well at least Translink bother to put a notice up, Irish Rail are still in denial

Thomas Ralph 18-11-2007 11:45

A boulder? That's a new one on me.

Thomas Ralph 18-11-2007 11:46

That information is now gone off the Translink site. Curious.

The line was re-opened in the course of the morning but I have just had a call from a passenger on the 1500 ex Belfast to say there is a bomb scare at Lurgan and the line is closed Lisburn-Portadown (1500 is stopped at Lisburn)

Translink - Security Alert Between Lurgan and Newry 18-Nov-2007 15:31
Translink rail services will be disrupted due to a security alert betwen Lurgan and Newry.
Translink will organise for a bus substition service to cover stops.
Update to follow.

Again no notice on the IE site

Enterprise - 1500 Belfast Central to Dublin 18-Nov-2007 16:11
Due to a knock on affect from the security alert the 1500 service from Belfast to Dublin is delayed by 48 minutes.

Translink - Update Security Alert Cleared 18-Nov-2007 15:58
Translink would like to advise passengers that the security alert between Lurgan and Newry has now been cleared. Normal service will be restored shortly

Mickey H 18-11-2007 17:30

Now heard that the 1600 Enterprise from Dublin failed at Drogheda and has been replaced by a 29000

Maybe not

Yes it was. There is a photo on one of the enthusiast websites of the 29000 at Lisburn
