Rail service arrangements for the June Bank Holiday weekend

Iarnród Éireann reminds customers that a revised timetable will be in place this June Bank Holiday weekend on all routes.

Customers are advised to check times before travel from Saturday 31st May to Bank Holiday Monday 2^nd June inclusive for revised schedules, at the journey planner above or at the Iarnród Éireann app.  Major works will take place between Connolly and Blackrock from Saturday to Monday inclusive, affecting Southside DART and Rosslare Intercity services.

Intercity: Pre-book for Bloom

In addition, Intercity customers are advised that pre-booking is essential at busiest times across the weekend, including for the duration of Bord Bia Bloom (Thursday 29^th May to Monday 2^nd June).  There is high demand on Heuston Intercity routes in particular, with Bloom offering a free shuttle bus available from Parkgate St (5-minute walk from Heuston) 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 www.irishrail.ie to ensure travel.
