[6-1-2009] Travel Chaos
1. No Dublin Bus services
2. Luas suspended Connolly - Point 3. Docklands station closed diverted to Connolly 4. Delays on services to/from Greystones Irish Rail are accepting bus tickets for travel |
Dublin Bus says some limited services on main roads are now starting up again. It is entirely unclear, however, as to which ones they have in mind.

Reports are the 1630 Connolly-Wexford failed at Sydney Parade. IÉ is expecting it will not be cleared until after 1800.
|
Southbound trains are moving again, but reports suggest delays of upwards of half an hour.
|
At 17:40 I passed a Sandyford bound Luas stopped between Ranelagh and Beechwood.
Didn't look like it was going anywhere and I didn't recall passing too many trams on my way from Sandyford :( |
16:30 to Gorey died it was 29x10 it was parked in the bay platform in Dun Laoghaire, it got there under its own power. No visible damage
Delays now in the 20 minute bracket, very large volumes of people. |

No. Never used the station so, don't see the point in it. Heavy traffic delaying Luas Reds at Gardiner Street junction. Slight delays also between Heuston and James's, and Bluebell-Blackhorse. As all the trams are full, the trams should be terminating at Abbey, in order to facilitate huge queues there and at Jervis. |
Apparently the Roslaire trains' engine went on fire and that's why it caused the delay. Was stuck on a DART between grand canal and lansdowne for more than half an hour. Very informative driver, fair play.
|
Passengers transfered at Dun Laoghaire to the next service to Wexford.
Set 29x10 was the guilty party |
Are there trains for all the services back up from Wexford/Gorey in the morning then?
|
Yes morning train from Gorey originates in Dublin
|
Luas services restored Connolly Point

bang goes the "congestion at connolly" argument!! |
The timetable went out the window tonight, massive delays.
The queue for a ticket in Pearse was crazy, but 3 TVM's, two booking offices and two ticket sellers plus a member of staff on point to manage the booking hall |
All times are GMT. The time now is 09:29. |
