IRISH RAIL HAS fixed a signal fault that was causing major delays for trains in and out of Heuston earlier.

The problem emerged just before the start of rush hour, with the company advising passengers that delays of over half an hour could be expected for the evening.

It was fixed after 7pm – but by that stage the delays had increased to over an hour.

Update: signal cable fault repaired. Trains to/from Heuston delayed 40-75 minutes but these will ease. Apologies for the inconvenience.
