Southside DART services will be majorly disrupted during the June bank holiday weekend due to line improvement works.
Track renewal, bridge upgrade and level crossing renewal works will take place at multiple sites over the June bank holiday weekend resulting in DART services being suspended between Connolly and Dun Laoghaire. Rail tickets will be valid on Dublin Bus services to/from areas affected.
DART services will operate between Malahide/Howth and Connolly, and between Dun Laoghaire and Bray/Greystones. Dublin to Rosslare Europort services will operate with bus transfers between Dublin Connolly and Bray.
Irish Rail said they apologise to customers for the inconvenience caused by these essential works. They also warned customers that pre-booking is essential at busiest times across the weekend, including for the duration of Bord Bia Bloom, Thursday 29th May to Monday 2nd June.
There is high demand on Heuston Intercity routes in particular, with Bloom offering a free shuttle bus available from Parkgate St to the Bloom site. A number of trains on Intercity routes are already sold out (including some trains from Galway, Limerick, Cork and Waterford to Dublin) and customers must pre-book at to ensure travel.
