New Irish Rail Timetable In Effect Today

A station in Offaly is set to benefit from a number of additions today.

Irish Rail is urging regular commuters to double check their trains as it's introduced a new timetable today.

It includes an additional morning service from Tullamore to Galway, which will run at 7.27am Monday to Friday.

Tullamore will also see a new later service from Heuston, with the latest train now leaving Dublin at 8.30pm and arriving in the town at 9.34pm.

More inter-city trains have been added to the Waterford and Galway lines, with later departure times.

Irish Rail spokesperson, Barry Kenny, outlines some of the other changes:
