6:30 Portlaoise Heuston & 17:35 Heuston Carlow

Good news is both these trains may operate as of today Monday 28th April

We can't confirm this, however since talks are ongoing today the ongoing disagreement between staff and management with respect to a number of issues remains unsolved, this appears to be a local change, other services outside Dublin are still effected (Cork + Westport)

Edit
may have ran today but tomorrow not looking good

06 30 Portlaoise to Heuston RESUMES; 17 35 Heuston to Carlow remains cancelled by Corporate Communications

UPDATE 28th April 2008

Iarnród Éireann advises customers that the weekday 06.30hrs service from Portlaoise to Heuston, has now resumed daily operation, following its cancellation since 11th February last.

Unfortunately, the 17 35 Heuston to Carlow service remains cancelled until further notice due to ongoing driver issues.

Advice for 17.35hrs Heuston to Carlow customers

Customers for Sallins, Newbridge, Athy and Carlow are advised to travel on the 17.45hrs Heuston to Westport service. Customers for Athy and Carlow will be transferred by bus from Newbridge.

As we understand the situation there is a temporary good faith restoration of flexibility at Inchicore which means the full timetable is running, the 17:35 should be running today, or more to the point it was to run.

Expect reversion to cancellation effective Tuesday May 6th
