Six-month disruption to Waterford train services as flood defence works begin

Iarnród Éireann says weekday train services to and from Waterford will be affected for six months as flood defence and signalling works take place

The works will affect off-peak rail services from Monday to Thursday starting next Monday, August 25.

Train services in Waterford will be disrupted for six months from next week to facilitate works tackling repeated flooding along the line.

Iarnród Éireann said the flood prevention works, undertaken by contractors for Waterford City and County Council (WCCC), will address recurring flooding on the approach to Waterford and ensure the railway service is climate resilient.
