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? :confused:

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

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.

Railcar is on the 19:00 so

[James Shields]

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

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.
