It was a day of disrupted travel across Ireland, as more than 50 buses were cancelled for “operational reasons” and dozens of Dart passengers forced their way off a train and walked on the tracks after lengthy delays.

Bus Éireann was forced to cancel dozens of services across the country on Sunday, with many cancellations being notified at short notice through social media.
