Default [16-07-07 Enterprise Service]

From IE site
16th July 2007 - UPDATE 11.40HRS

Customers are advised that due to a security alert near Newry, Belfast/Dublin Enterprise services are operating with a bus transfer between Newry and Dundalk until further notice. Our latest information is that this is expected to continue until tomorrow evening (Tuesday 17th July) at the earliest.

Iarnród Éireann apologises for the inconvenience caused.

From Translink site
Enterprise - 1100 Dublin Connolly to Belfast Central 16-Jul 13:31
Due to a knock on from the on-going security alert the 1100hrs Enterprise service from Dublin Connolly to Belfast Central has been delayed by 60 minutes approximately


So expect chaos at connolly?? or at least delays, etc?

Yes it will be pants for the rest of the day, only one enterprise set in the republic which means railcars everywhere

The old Sligo train might make it to Dundalk and back this afternoon to fill in.

Its going to be very messy on the 16:50

Default 16.50 Dublin-Belfast Enterprise

The train is an enterprise ... must have been on platform from an earlier run. They started boarding at 16.20. IE staff are informing everyone about the bus transfer at Dundalk.

Well the 8:20 from Enterprise Drogheda was a 2900. And as a result, the 8:32 was a 6-car 2600.

More border alert rail disruption

A security alert on the outskirts of Newry is continuing to disrupt cross-border rail services.

It follows a claim that a device had been left in the Upper Fathom Road area, near the Cloghogue roundabout.

The alert began following a phone call early on Sunday, and a helicopter was deployed. The area has been cordoned off from 0630 BST on Monday.

Passengers on the Enterprise train service are being taken on buses between Newry and Dundalk.
