Not too bad today, only 30 mins late.

Hueston didn't seem to be running too bad this morning. There were mainly 15-30 minute delays to arrivals but trains were at platforms ready for on time departure (whether they leave on time is another story altogether).

Dublin Airport shut until at least 1330

Aer Lingus is putting on extra flights to Cork in order to at least get people into the right country.

Thursday 23rd December

Full services are continuing to operate throughout the network across Intercity, DART and Commuter routes.

Some delays may occur where snow is being cleared from points, or there are other weather-related problems, however we will get customers to their destinations.

Customers are also advised to allow extra travel time to get to stations due to poor road and footpath conditions.

Current alterations: M3 Parkway services will operate to and from Connolly Station instead of Docklands.
