Services affected: Phoenix Park and Clifton South services

Work taking place on Saturday 24th January 2026 to Sunday 25th January 2026

Normal service to resume Monday 26th January 2026

No service between Queen's Walk and Clifton South.
Affecting services in both directions

On the 24th and 25th January, we will be carrying out some work between Wilford and Clifton. 

Work is required to replace the track ballast at Wilford Lane. The track ballast was damaged and contaminated following the severe flooding in January 2024 and needs to be replaced.

Our lines will need to be isolated on the 24th and 25th so that the work at Wilford Lane can take place. During this time, we will also be carrying out any necessary repair work on the Clifton Line.
