Resumption of services

Thanks. These track improvements can only be a good thing for both lines. Should lead to less speed restrictions and faster journey times and who knows maybe an extra service in each direction.

Hopefully services resume before the summer is out.

We have been unable to get any clarity on getting full service back up and running.

The relaying appears to be proper new track not panels recovered from elsewhere

I have heard that the Waterford-Limerick line will reopen on the 31st of August.
Can anyone here confirm if this is true or not?

For some time the journey planner has been showing that the service will resume with the 07.20 train ex Waterford next Monday, 31st August, 2020.

Hopefully both IÉ and the NTA are ensuring that will happen.

Good to see this line (and the Nenagh line?) re-open. A great piece of mixed messaging when combined with Government advice to avoid public transport where possible.
Trains on this line are usually lightly loaded so personal distancing should be no problem: certainly orders of magnitude better than a bus.

On the Irish Rail website, I am able to book tickets for the Nenagh line and the Waterford-Limerick line for the 31st of August or later.
This could mean that both will reopen on that date.

Full timetable nationwide resume from 31st August.

There was been major works undertaken in recent weeks on both track and bridges
