South Dublin faces weekend Dart disruption over summer

REGULAR DART users on Dublin’s southside face disruption to weekend services from today until next September due to further upgrade works on the line.

Iarnród Éireann yesterday apologised to passengers for the suspension of normal services between Pearse and Greystones for the next 14 weeks.

However, a company spokesperson explained such work was necessary as part of a €176 million upgrade project to extend all station platforms to accommodate eight-carriage trains as well as improve signalling systems and replace overhead power lines.
