Update: DART and Commuter services returning to normal by Corporate Communications

Update: 17.35hrs Monday 20th July.

DART and Commuter services are returning to normal, however some services may experience delays of up to 15 minutes.

These delays are due to a earlier service suspension due to a bridge strike at Connolly Station.

Iarnród Éireann apologises for any inconvenience caused.

Mark Gleeson · 20-07-2009, 17:35

Delays where more like 25 minutes on some services

When I was coming through earlier there was a backup of trains from Booterstown northbound to GCD.

A trucker hitting a railway bridge should be treated like a train driver passing a red light - taken down - lose his HGV licence and not left to endanger his own and other lives again.

Agreed. At the moment it's just three penalty points.

Well, and a €250,000 fine and prison and compensation.
