The points damaged in the derailment where replaced on the May bank holiday weekend, 25 mph speed limit will be in place for at least a month while they settle

Dublin bound it shouldn't really delay the train by more than 5 minutes since it has a generous run to Dublin, northbound its a 8-10 minutes issue. Bear in mind all Belfast services are due Dublin 5 minutes ahead of public time anyway

The evening Rosslare - Drogheda train and the 20:45 Dublin Belfast no longer get caught up, the Rosslare train was unable to pull over to be overtaken at Skerries until the points where replaced

Bear in mind 25% refund applies if enterprise 30 minutes late, 50% at 60 minutes and 100% at 90 minutes

There was a security alert at Portadown this morning, probably resulted in more delay than the Skerries issue
