Major works preview 2026
With record investment in our rail network under the National Development Plan, Iarnród Éireann is currently undertaking a range of projects, as well as essential maintenance, right across our lines.
Major projects which will be progressed this year include:
- Cork Area Commuter Rail projects, including twin-tracking of the Midleton line and resignalling works which - together with the completed new platform at Kent Station - will treble the capacity for Cork commuter rail services
- Works on the new Ceannt Station, Galway, and relocated Plunkett Station, Waterford
- Works on second platform at Oranmore and associated track works
- DART+ works for recharging facilities for new trains at Drogheda
- DART+ West enabling works on Maynooth and M3 Parkway lines
- Limerick to Foynes line
- Continuing overhead line renewal works on the DART network
- Systems testing for the new National Train Control Centre
- Track renewal work, bridge replacemement, points and crossing renewals and other essential infrastructure maintenance and renewal works in a range of locations
While the vast majority of works take place overnight, or in a way that sees little or no disruption to services, in some instances disruption is unavoidable. In particular, this will happen if we’re replacing or improving essential infrastructure like tracks, bridges, signalling, overhead lines, or helping third parties with major plans.
So we need to plan these works to deliver improvements to our customers, but there can be unavoidable disruption too. We work to ensure that any such disruption is minimised, and that the number of customers affected is minimised too.
We do this in a number of ways:
- We try to ensure that our busiest lines are unaffected at the busiest times, so weekday works, and particularly at peak, are avoided
- We work to plan the works which must happen, and look at events which take place around the country too. Major sports, music, cultural and other entertainment is always considered. This poses challenges – we’re busier with works than ever before, but there are more events than ever before too
- We choose selected Bank Holiday weekends to undertake projects of significant scale – the extra weekend day allows us to achieve more progress more efficiently, while avoiding impacting those crucial weekday customers. We don’t schedule works at St Patrick’s weekend, which is particularly important for tourism. However, the February, Easter, May, June, August and October Bank Holidays are often used for works
So, while we will have other works which may affect individual services, or late evening / early morning services in some instances, this is the current schedule (as of 28th September 2026) of major disruptive works for the remainder of 2026. This is subject to further change (for example, works programmes revisions or confirmations, new events or additional investment funding can result in revisions). 2027 details will be confirmed in late December / early January.
