Southside DART & Rosslare disruption: No trains operating Pearse to Dun Laoghaire by Corporate Communications
21.30hrs, Thursday 27th October
Iarnród Éireann advises customers that there is serious disruption to southside DART services and Rosslare / Gorey rail services.
The line is closed between Pearse and Dun Laoghaire due to flood damage to a bridge south of Lansdowne Road Station.
Services affected are:
DART: DART services will operate Howth/Malahide to Pearse, and Dun Laoghaire to Bray/Greystones. There will be no DART service between Pearse and Dun Laoghaire. Dublin Bus will accept rail tickets for customers affected.
Rosslare/Gorey: Rosslare and Gorey services will operate Rosslare/Gorey to Bray, with bus transfers between Bray and Dublin Connolly.
Other commuter: Other commuter services which operate from Drogheda or Maynooth to Dun Laoghaire and Bray will now only operate from Drogheda/Maynooth to Pearse. Dublin Bus will accept rail tickets for customers travelling south of Pearse.
The length of time this disruption will continue for is currently being assessed. However, it will be for a number of days at least.
More detailed service information will be provided as soon as possible.
Iarnród Éireann apologises for the inconvenience caused.

Some safety concerns should be expressed here- that bridge has had thousands of people over it since the flood water subsided.
Shockingly abrupt notice too- was the problem only discovered now?
Also, no notice of how this will affect the weekend services, seeing as they were already curtailed to Clontaf Rd northbound. A shuttle Pearse-Clontarf Rd and back I guess.
