Folks (especially in Leinster) don't forget to take care wherever you are conditions are bad, I came close to a hard fall on the bridge at clonsilla Saturday night!

All reports seem to point to a fair amount of snow today so there could be disruption, remember to check Irish rail, Dublin bus, bus eireann, Luas, aa roadwatch , news outlets and here of course for updates.

Wherever you are, take care!

M3-Docklands is suspended

5:55 Gorey Dublin is lost somewhere and hasn't reached Greystones yet

Trampas · 30-11-2010, 08:46

The 5.45 Longford to Pearse left Maynooth just before the 7.15.

The Dart from Connolly to Greystones around 8 was jammed packed.

I think this train should really be a 8 set as it is always packed

Many thanks to Sharon Birchall who provides the Feeder Bus Service between Hazelhatch Station/Celbridge, she provides a 2nd bus to pick up additional passengers (returning home), during this cold spell, as she did during the cold spell at the beginning of the year, also.

Although the 07.12 Drogheda-Bray left on time, it encountered delays of 15 mins around Howth Junction.
No announcements from the drivers, nothing on Irishrail.ie, nothing on LED platform displays, and no announcements.
So when I rang 7032613 @ 08.45am I was advised there was also a complete telecoms breakdown out of CTC this morning. Hence they could not advise drivers of any of the delays, could not make platform announcements, or could not update the LED displays. A complete joke if you ask me....

Rashers · 30-11-2010, 19:24

All northbound DARTs and Drogheda bound services were delayed by minimum of 15 minutes this evening...not sure of exact reason, as the DARTs seemed to leave Bray on time, but DARTs originating in Greystones seemed to be causing all the problems....late into work...late home...
