DART services resume with 'ongoing delays’ after overhead electrical line issues

An issue with overhead electrical lines suspended services between busy stations at peak times this evening.

LAST UPDATE | 11 Jun 2025

DUBLIN’S DART SERVICES are operational again after an issue with overhead electrical lines that power the carriages has been fixed by engineers. 

Services between Landsdowne Rd and Dún Laoghaire stations were suspended for nearly three hours as Iarnród Éireann staff worked to fix the electrical line issues between Booterstown and Blackrock 

The outages and suspensions impacted commuters travelling at peak times this evening. Dart services were only operating between stations Howth/Malahide and Lansdowne Rd as well as carriages on the Greystones to Dalkey line.

All services between all DART stations are now fully operational again. Iarnród Éireann said ongoing delays are expected to continue for the remainder of the evening.

There were significant knock-on delays this evening and some commuter train services were impacted, a spokesperson said.
