Very very heavy snow in Dublin City Centre now, around Baggot Street and Leeson Street. I'm on the 10th floor of a building and it looks pretty much widespread across the city. It's sticking too because it has been so cold today.

Take it handy

Colm Moore · 20-12-2010, 12:35

1030 Cork-Heuston (29 mins late)
1100 Connolly-Belfast Central (16 mins late)
1147 Limerick Junction-Limerick (23 mins late)
1200 Limerick-Limerick Junction (7 mins late)

Delays of 5-15 minues on 20% of DARTs

Just for reference according to Dublin Bus neither the 17, nor the 114 are able to access the area around the station, operating from frascati road instead

Quote:

17 Unable to serve Blackrock Station. Terminating at Frascatti Rd.

I'd be interested to see how the 114 will manage that

update from irish rail

Quote:

Services between Bray and Greystones are currently suspended due to a ESB power fault in the area. Dublin Bus are honouring rail tickets.

Mark Gleeson · 20-12-2010, 14:00

17+ 114 back serving Blackrock

Appears the substation in Greystones has tripped out, its the only one which does not have a dual grid connection.

For those relying on buses, traffic is very slow between leeson street and stephen's green, it's almost at a standstill. Once you get to college green and the quays it's moving, albeit very slowly. A lot of buses stuck around stephens green in traffic.

Trains seem to be operating fine out of hueston

Presently 40 min delays to Northern suburban trains to Drogheda...
Nothing in the IE travel alerts or on their twitter....
