Alternative Travel Between Drogheda and Dublin
 

Can anyone recommend if Matthews Coach or Bus Eireann are better for getting to Dublin if the train tracks are still in a bad way tommorrow?

Got the Bus Eireann 100x Drog-Dub on Fri, it took 1hr30 mins to O'connell street.
Does anyone know if the matthews service has a shorter journey time?

Just wondering how people are planning to get to work just in case!

IE had replaced all the track by Saturday afternoon so things are looking good for tomorrow, though expect slight delays to trains which don't stop in Skerries in particular.

Northbound trains should run just fine, except for the evening Rosslare Drogheda train which gets overtaken between Skerries and Balbriggan since the points won't be repaired in time it appears

Matthews don't use the Port Tunnel as they list Drumcondra as a stop. If there are no trains tomorrow it won't make much of a difference who you take

trains are back ( allegedly)
 

Irish Rail say trains are back tomorrow.
