Buses facing disruptions, trains running as normal

Both Bus Eireann and Dublin Bus have said some routes are facing curtailments and diversions because of the continuing hazards of compacted snow and ice.

Full Irish Rail services are expected to run, with some delays possible, while in Dublin the Luas red and green lines are running in full.

Dublin Bus is reminding customers that frequent updates are added to the list of affected services on their website - dublinbus.ie.

A spokesperson said they will make every effort to operate as many services as possible today and over the coming days and they are monitoring road conditions with local authorities.

Most Bus Éireann services around the country are operating as per normal this morning with some delays and diversions in affected areas.

The main commuter routes in the east and north east are operating this morning with some delays.

Some town-to-town services in the north east are currently disrupted.

Customers are asked to visit www.transport.ie or www.buseireann.ie or contact their local travel centre for latest information on service changes.

School closures combined with weather and road conditions, particularly on secondary and minor roads, are also likely to result in some disruption to school transport services in affected areas this morning.

Bus Éireann local inspectors in consultation with local schools will assess the situation in each area of the country this morning.
