Travel by train between Galway and Dublin will be disrupted by engineering works taking place this weekend, with bus transfers in place for part of the journey.
Irish Rail is carrying out track renewal and platform works between Portarlington and Athlone from Saturday, January 31, through to Monday, February 2.
This means that trains on the Heuston – Galway route will be operating bus transfers between Dublin and Athlone, with trains for the rest of the journey.
Times between Dublin and Athlone have been altered, please see the Journey Planner for full details.
The work on renovating Ceannt Station is also expected to progress and be completed in 2026.
Irish Rail has said that this will cause periods of disruption to Galway rail travel between April and June.
