While we're delighted that Dublin plays host to some of the biggest names in music on a regular basis, if you're not from the Big Smoke, the costs of concert attending can get steep. 

There's the cost of getting up to the capital from wherever in the country you hail, getting back home again AND if you're relying on public transport, there's a chance you might have to shell out for an overnight stay after the concert. 

Irish Rail is taking steps to combat this, and with Taylor Swift taking to Croke Park stadium this Friday and Saturday, the train authority has decided to add additional services to run after the concert to get you home safe. 

If you're from Galway or Cork, you;'re in luck, here are the times of the additional services after the gig: 

  • Dublin Heuston to Galway 00:30hrs
  • Dublin Heuston to Cork 00:40hrs

As for getting to the gig, an extra train at 9.05am has been added from Tralee to Dublin Heuston. 

If you're planning on getting any of the extra trains, it's worth noting that pre-booking as a must.

Iarnród Eireann have informed the public that service has resumed following a tragic incident in Sallins, Co Kildare.

Earlier this afternoon, they informed passengers on Twitter that service to and from Heuston had been suspended.

"All services suspended through Sallins, emergency services attending tragic incident on line north of station. All services to/from Heuston disrupted until further notice," read the initial tweet.

They updated passengers in the hour that followed and confirmed that disruption was ongoing and significant delays should be expected.

However, their recent tweet confirmed that while delays were still to be expected, service had resumed and routes should soon be operating on schedule.

Twitter users have expressed their sympathy over the incident, and received further updates from the company with respect to individual enquiries.

If you're travelling home today for Easter, then beware of disruptions on Irish Rail services.

The company announced that it will be carrying out "Easter engineering" works, which means services such as the DART and Intercity trips will be delayed.

Today, Easter Sunday, the DART will only operate between Connolly and Greystones, due to a line closure between Connolly and Howth/Malahide/Skerries.

Bus Éireann has announced an all-out strike, which is in place since midnight last night.

Now, Iarnród Éireann is being affected by the strike.

Chanel No. 5 is one of the most popular perfumes in the world, but soon it could be no more.

A French railway company, SNCF, want to build a high-speed train line through the fields that Chanel use for their perfumes.

May roses and jasmine flowers grow in these fields, which go into every bottle of No.5.

The fashion house has released a letter, saying that if these plans go ahead, they will have to cease production of the iconic perfume.

"The construction of a viaduct and the regular passage of high-speed trains over these fields of flowers would force Chanel to cease supporting its artisanal activities in the region.

It continued to say that the flowers harvested there are "unique and exceptional… and indispensable for the creation of Chanel perfumes."

These sought-after flowers are also used to created Coco, No.5 Eau Premiere and No.5 L'Eau perfumes.

SNCF is arguing that the new train line would improve travel between Marseille and Nice.

Chanel No. 5 was first commissioned in 1921, and was the brain child of Coco Chanel herself.

*This is a developing story*

Local media is this evening reporting that an axe- and knife-wielding attacker has injured at least 20 passengers on a train near Heidingsfeld in Bavaria in southern Germany.

Some of the victims' injuries are thought to be life-threatening, according to the BBC, although additional reports say many of those injured were witnesses who required treatment for shock. 

Multiple sources are also now claiming that the attacker has been killed; Sky News cites police spokesman Fabien Hench as confirming that the man was shot dead by police as he tried to flee the scene.

The motives behind the violent outbreak are also currently unclear, although ISIS supporters were quick to state on social media that the terror organisation was behind the incident. 

The train line between Wurzburg-Heidingsfeld and Ochsenfurt has been closed.

The identify of the attacker has furthermore yet to be unveiled.

Star of Orange Is The New Black, Lea DeLaria, lost her temper with a preacher on the Subway in New York yesterday morning.

The actress, who plays Big Boo on the hit Netflix show, can be heard in the video shouting at the preacher and telling him he does not have the right to tell other people what to believe.

 

Thanks @bredvad Here's one from thefoodlife.com shoot I did Friday. #ieatthrreforriam

However, when the man fails to stop his preaching, she marches up to him angrily and says she won’t stop talking until he does.

This is just making us even more excited for Boo’s return in the next season of OITNB.

Today’s epic fail goes to Irish Rail (sorry)!

The company took to their Twitter account this morning to announce that the Drogheda-Bray train would be delayed due to an ill passenger…

Unfortunately for them, but fortunately for everyone else, “ill” was typed as “bill” and so the great sarcastic Irish humour quickly came into play, resulting in comedy gold.

People were very, very worried about the wellbeing of poor Bill, with many writing: “Is Bill ok?”

We do of course hope that the ill passenger on board was ok, too.

This train is amazing! We don’t know about you, but a pet hate of ours is sitting backwards on a train journey for hours on end. This Japanese train automatically twirls the seats around so that they ALL face forward, everytime!
