BRAY TO GREYSTONES RAIL LINE CLOSED DUE TO ROCKFALL ON BRAY HEAD by Corporate Communications

UPDATE: 15.00hrs, 2nd February 2009

Iarnród Éireann advises customers that DART services to Greystones, and Gorey Commuter and Rosslare Intercity services, face disruption due to the closure of the rail line between Bray and Greystones.

This closure is required due to rockfall close to the entrance of the first tunnel on Bray Head, which has the potential to fall on the rail line.

Bus transfers will operate between Bray and Greystones for all DART services from now until further notice. All other DART services will operate normally, from Howth/Malahide to Bray.

Gorey commuter services and Rosslare Intercity services will be part substituted by bus from 16.00hrs onwards. Service details are as follows:

16.40 Connolly to Gorey: train to Bray, bus Bray to Gorey

17.25 Connolly to Enniscorthy: train to Bray, bus Bray to Enniscorthy

18.37 Connolly to Rosslare Europort: train to Bray, bus Bray to Greystones, train Greystones to Rosslare Europort
