Metrovik Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 Hi, New to the platform and was just wondering if anyone has any access or knows where to find the timetables for works trains or freight trains (albeit seldom) on the Irish network. Thanks. Quote
irishrailways52 Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 IWT container trains Mondays 08:15 Ballina-Dublin 09:35 Dublin-Ballina 10:05 Ballina-Dublin Tuesdays 09:35 Dublin-Ballina 10:05 Ballina-Dublin 13:40 Dublin-Ballina Wednesday 08:15 Ballina-Dublin 09:35 Dublin-Ballina 10:05 Ballina-Dublin Thursday 09:35 Dublin-Ballina 10:05 Ballina-Dublin 13:40 Dublin-Ballina Friday 08:15 Ballina-Dublin 09:35 Dublin-Ballina 13:40 Ballina-Dublin Saturday 08:15 Ballina-Dublin 09:35 Dublin-Ballina 13:40 Dublin-Ballina (there are also trains that go from Ballina to Waterford however I do not have the times for those) Timber trains Monday 11:05 Ballina-Waterford 11:30 Waterford-Westport Thursdays 11:00 Westport-Waterford 11:30 Waterford-Ballina there is also a service from tara mines to Dublin port which is currently suspended due to the tempory closure of the mine. trains on this usually cross over in navan between half 8 and half 9 on week days only. There is also a narrow gauge system of peat trains with trains leaving edenderry between 7:00 and 7:30 in the morning returning laden around 10:30. some more set out from the power station at 13:30 if you wish to sea the board na mona peat trains i recommend you do so soon as they are due to close permently this November however there is talk of them closing within the month. (wish you the best) 3 1 Quote
Metrovik Posted July 17, 2023 Author Posted July 17, 2023 Thanks I was hoping to get to Bord na mona soon but if those talks are true I should put them on top of my priorities list. Thanks for the help Quote
irishrailways52 Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 no worries. I will post here if the board na mona situation changes. 1 Quote
irishrailways52 Posted July 27, 2023 Posted July 27, 2023 update 27-7-2023 as of a few days ago edenderry has closed for maintenance. the trains will continue operating however they will go to Ballycon instead. there is hope for a return to edenderry when maintenance is done as the line is being rebalisted. ballast trains depart mount Lucas and head up the line towards edenderry. co-ordinates for Ballycon: 53.281644, -7.194928 co-ordinates for location of ballast loading 53.283749, -7.203559 Quote
