Translink would like to advise passengers that, following the derailment of a freight train at Skerries on Thursday evening, the railway line between Drogheda and Dublin has now temporarily re-opened for Enterprise services only, however the line will close again over the weekend to facilitate track repairs.
Enterprise services will be affected as follows:
Friday 11th January
All services will operate as scheduled, with the exception of the 2010 service from Belfast Central to Dublin Connolly, which will have a bus substitution from Drogheda to Dublin.
Saturday 12th January
The railway line between Drogheda and Dublin will be closed for repairs. A bus substitution will operate between Drogheda and Dublin Connolly for all Enterprise services.
Sunday 13th January
Iarnroad Eireann are currently advising passengers to expect a bus substitution between Drogheda and Dublin. Confirmation will follow as soon as possible.
Intending passengers are advised to expect delays to Enterprise services during periods of bus substitution.
In addition, we cannot guarantee the availability of First Plus and catering facilities on Enterprise services this weekend.
For further information, please contact the Translink Call Centre on (028) 90 66 66 30 (seven days, 7am to 8pm).

The reason First and catering can't be guaranteed is that they can't swap the locomotives or get them repaired
