three days until crews can clear the track and ensure there is no possibility of further mudslides onto the section of the line. Mainline inter-city trains are also affected by the mudslide and the Rosslare train now only runs as far as Bray station.
Additional buses have been laid on to facilitate intending commuters between Bray and Greystones and other stations on the effected section of the line. The early morning commuter train out of Arlkow is now replaced by a bus service to Bray and Connolly stations and may not be running again until Wednesday or Thursday of next week. Iarnrod Eireann will notify commuters as soon as the normal Dart and mainline services on the Rosslare route are fully operational.
