Delays on Mayo rail services due to Storm Isha

DUE to the red weather warning associated with Storm Isha, speed restrictions will apply on trains in Mayo later today, resulting in delays.

All trains are scheduled to operate on all routes.

However, a 50mph (80kph) speed restriction will apply to all train services operating between Athlone and Galway, and between Athlone and Westport/Ballina from 5 p.m. this evening (Sunday). This will result in service delays to Galway and Westport/Ballina services.

Response crews will be operating on the network and travelling on board trains to address any issues that arise.

Any further service impacts will be updated on the Iarnród Éireann website https://www.irishrail.ie/en-ie/ and on Twitter @irishrail.

Customers are advised to allow extra time to reach stations in affected areas, and to consider if their journey is absolutely necessary.
