Rail passengers are facing delays following the discovery of smoke coming from a carriage on the Galway-Dublin train.

A spokesperson for Irish Rail said passengers on the 18.05 service from Galway to Dublin have been moved to a safer part of the train while the incident is dealt with.

The train was stopped close to Sallins, Co Kildare.

It is thought that the incident occurred when a parking brake was left on.

Other services from the west and south-east have been affected.

The spokesman said the incident was being dealt with as quickly as possible.

Bus services are being provided passengers affected by the stoppage.

I believe the 2100 Heuston-Cork got blocked in and was quite late last night.

Was delayed about 20 minutes between Dublin and Portarlington, not too bad as things go

20:30 Cork Dublin was 30 minutes late getting in
