‘Major disruption’ Dart users warned of DELAYS this afternoon

If you're planning on availing of the Northside DART or Commuter service this afternoon, you might want to plan ahead due to technical failures on the route.

Taking to Twitter today, Iarnród Éireann informed customers that they were experiencing considerable disruption to Northside services.

"Major disruption to Northside DART services & Northern Commuter services due to fault on maintenance train," they explained.

Keeping the public informed of developments, Irish Rail returned to Twitter shortly after their initial tweet and advised customers that while services have resumed, commuters can still expect some delays.

"Update: Services have resumed with delays of up to 30mins through Kilbarrack following the failure of a maintenance train," they wrote.
