Heuston to Hazelhatch line reopens


30 June 2013

The Dublin Heuston to Hazelhatch rail line is reopening at 13.00hrs, following an earlier incident in which a woman was struck by a train and fatally injured on the line between Adamstown and Hazelhatch during the night.

Full services are resuming, and while delays are continuing, they will ease during the afternoon.

The incident took placeat 00.20hrs, 500 yards south of Adamstown Station, when the woman was struck on the line by an out of service Commuter train returning to Heuston Station. The emergency services attended the scene, and the line remained closed while Gardai carried out investigations.

For the duration of the disruption, all Heuston Intercity services (to/from Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Galway, Westport, Waterford) were part substituted by bus, between Heuston and Hazelhatch. Commuter services between Heuston and Kildare did not operate.

Iarnród Éireann apologises for the inconvenience caused to customers.

It's madness that all 4 lines were closed, the two outbound could an should of operated as single lines. Over 12 hour closure, that's not normal.
