A full scale deviation involving a new tunnel is not a runner alas so unless these new remedial works solve the problem for another 5 years then there could be a problem.
For Greystones DART users and Gorey line commuters this is a complete nightmare 
Are DART season tickets being accepted on DB services in the short term?
Are IE running their own buses in addition to regular DB services to help with deman? |
Shuttle buses are running accepting all rail tickets from stations south of Bray. Extra buses have been hired also to cope with huge amount of passengers needing to be shuttled to Bray. This situation has actually gotten from bad to apocalyptic! What a coincidence there's been another landslip on a seperate part of the line at Arklow. Imagine now there was another landslide between Killiney and Dalkey stations as happens occasionally..I think the situation is being well handled though, we're not waiting long for a shuttle bus in mornings/evenings. We're looking at a few weeks of this closure according to the irishrail.ie. Never been a time where a feasibility study for a new track section has been so urgently needed imo..really is a disaster for co.Wicklow commuters.
