Irish Rail has confirmed that DART services will operate on a Saturday schedule on weekdays from Monday.
Due to Covid-19 restrictions, significantly reduced demand is expected across and Irish Rail has reflected this by announcing a range of reduced services which will come into effect from Monday, January 11.
Trains will operate at 25% capacity and will be reserved for essential workers, carers and people who are traveling for essential reasons.
