Inclement weather forces closure of railway line
14/11/2009 - 17:02:27The railway line between Arklow in Co Wicklow and Gorey in Co Wexford was closed today on safety grounds after recent extremely heavy rain resulted in an embankment becoming unstable.
It is estimated that the line will remain closed for a minimum of one week, while the embankment is strengthened, according to Iarnród Éireann.
Bus transfers are in operation for rail services between Wicklow and Gorey as a result.
The railway operator apologised for the inconvenience caused.
