Here are the train services that have been affected by the floods

Iarnród Éireann has issued details of the services that have been affected by floods.

The company said that the Carrick-on-Shannon to Longford section of the Sligo to Dublin Connolly is expected to remain closed due to flooding until this weekend at the earliest.

Flood levels are currently one foot above the rail head on the line – which has been closed since Sunday morning, and are not receding.

Also, the Athenry to Gort section of the Limerick to Galway line was closed this morning due to flooding, and is expected to remain closed for at least 48 hours. The company is operating bus transfers between Ennis and Galway.

Iarnród Éireann apologises to customers for the inconvenience caused as a result of flooding. Service updates are available at www.irishrail.ie and on @irishrail.

The full list of affected services is below:

Sligo line service alterations

- All Sligo/Dublin Connolly services in both directions will have bus transfers between Carrick-on-Shannon and Longford, resulting in delays of 30-60 minutes

- 16.00hrs Dublin Connolly to Sligo service is cancelled

Reduced capacity on some Commuter services

There is reduced availability of trains as five sets (one 3-carriage, and four 4-carriage trains) were west of the flooded section when the line closed. Therefore, the following services will have reduced capacity:

- 05.45 Sligo to Dublin Connolly (Longford to Dublin Connolly section)

- 06.15 Longford to Dublin Pearse (also serves commuter stops between Maynooth and Dublin Pearse

- 08.35 Drogheda to Dublin Pearse (will be supplemented by extra service from Skerries to Dublin Pearse)

- 17.05 Dublin Connolly to Sligo (Dublin Connolly to Longford section)

- 17.15 Dublin Connolly to Longford (also serves commuter stops between Dublin Connolly and Maynooth)

Customers from stations between Maynooth and Connolly are advised to divert to other Commuter services where possible due to pressure on capacity on the 06.15hrs Longford to Pearse (departs Maynooth 07.30) and the 17.15hrs Connolly to Longford.
