MORNING RAIL SERVICES FROM GALWAY CANCELLED

Date Published: 23-May-2008

There’s further rail service cancellations to Galway this morning after an escalation of a strike by Iarnród Eireann train drivers.

The company has just been forced to cancel the 9.10 Heuston to Galway and the 11.10 Heuston to Galway trains.

However the 10.50 Galway to Heuston train will run as normal and the 7.10 Heuston to Galway is also running normally.

Other Galway early morning services cancelled, include the 5.20 Galway – Heuston service, the 7.15 Galway – Heuston and 7.20 Athlone to Galway services.

Further disruption is likely on Galway, Westport and Athlone services and Iarnród Eireann will be updating customers throughout the day.

The chaos was triggered after a driver was removed from the pay roll for refusing to co-operate with the training of new recruits.
