A NUMBER OF Irish Rail routes will be affected this weekend, as major works impact on all Heuston routes, Northside Dart, Drogheda and Belfast services.

All passengers are advised to check Irish Rail’s journey planner for a full list of available services on the day they travel.

Here’s a list of the disruption to services due over the Easter weekend:

Dublin Connolly and Skerries – Dart services

On Saturday and Sunday, track improvement work will take place between Dublin Connolly and Rusk/Lusk.

This will mean no Dart service between Howth, Malahide and Dublin Connolly tomorrow and Easter Sunday.

Bus transfers will operate on the Enterprise service between Connolly and Drogheda. Bus transfers will also operate on Northern commuter services between Connolly and Skerries.

Due to the improvements between Connolly and Skerries, train services will operate between Belfast and Drogheda only, with a replacement bus in service the rest of the way on Saturday and Sunday.
