You might want to rethink your travelling arrangements.
Irish Rail has issued a notice if you’re heading to Cork, Limerick or Tralee tomorrow as line improvement works will cause a lot of disruption.
These line improvement works take place on “selected Saturdays, focusing this year on the section between Newbridge and Ballybrophy,” the Irish Rail website reads.
It is because “the annual investment of €10 million in line improvements will lead to higher reliability, smoother running of trains and with other works deliver consistent 160kph speeds. This will deliver journey time improvements for customers.”
Reminder: Revised timetables for Cork, Limerick and Tralee services on Saturday 12th of May due to line improvement works https://t.co/pv5FgawYV6
