Rail facilities set for €6m upgrade

Irish Rail facilities are set for a €6m upgrade, it was announced today.

Under the initiative, an additional €1m will be spent on improving journey times between Portalington and Dublin, €1m on ticket validating machines and €300K for the additional roll-out of wifi on 63 rail cars and €600,000 for order point heaters to ensure depots are not unduly affected by a harsh winter.
