Irish Rail are reporting serious disruption to their services this morning due to ‘mechanical issues’.
In a series of tweets, Iarnrod Eireann first highlighted the problem around 7am this morning.
They said: “Disruption to all services in and out of Heuston at present due to mechanical issues between Sallins and Newbridge.
“Passengers for GCD to join alternative services to Hazelhatch and change for GCD there.”
Then one hour ago, they announced that services would be delayed by up to 80 minutes.
They said: “Expected delays of up to 80 mins to all services out of Heuston at present, and delays of up to 30 mins to all services into Heuston.”
LaoisToday understands that a high number of people have been waiting in Portlaoise Train Station for trains since 7am this morning.
It is unclear at present what has caused the signal fault.
