Heuston services - Sat 8th - Sun 9th May - service alterations by Corporate Communications

Due to engineering works at Cherryville Junction, near Kildare, Intercity services to and from Heuston Station will be part-substituted by bus between 11.00hrs on Saturday 8th May and 11.00hrs on Sunday 9th May.

Please search journey times from our home page for full details.

Iarnród Éireann apologises for the inconvenience caused by these essential works.

How on earth its taking 24 hours to replace a set of points no one knows

It took a 40 hour closure (2000 Friday to 1000 Sunday) to install two cross-overs at Sallins last year; the cross-overs had been installed by Sat afternoon but the closure went on until Sunday morning! This is quick by comparison.

Sallins was a 4 point end job, the Cherryville gig is a single point end

But they did no install the actual points during that 40 hour stoppage; they were done much during a later closure.

Dublin-Waterford - Bus to Carlow, train to Waterford. Some services require two buses, with changes at Kildare and Carlow. Services via Limerick Junction require a bus change at Portlaoise.

Dublin-Cork/Tralee/Limerick - Bus to Portlaoise, train to destination.

Dublin-Galway/Westport/Ballina - Bus to Portarlington, train to destination.

Default Newbridge-Kildare - bus substitutions

No mention of this..Cherryville is AFTER Kildare so why is Sallins-Kildare also closed! Also no services after 1900 on Sat!!! Surely such disruption warrants a detailed notice and a 'check the homepage' message.

Dublin-Newbridge - bus
Dublin- Kildare - bus
