South East on Track
Campaigning for better rail transport in the South East of Ireland.
- Many rail users in the south-east travel to and from train stations using both bike share schemes & their own bikes. Government should be encouraging people to travel using public transport and active travel as opposed to discouraging them doing so with unscientific, knee-jerk legislation.
- Dublin to Rosslare line is reopening between Greystones and Wicklow following clearance of extensive debris on the line. Full services expected for today.
- Adjustments to scheduled services Connolly-Rosslare this eve due to flooding along the line. 16:28 & 17:28 will amalgamate and serve as a bus transfer to Wicklow & train from Wicklow to Rosslare. 18:28 Connolly to Wexford & 20:08 Connolly to Gorey will be a bus transfer for the full journey.

- Waterford (population 60,079) & Wexford (pop. 21,524) can easily sustain a rail service between them. In Scotland there are 8 daily trains between Fort William (pop. 15,757) and Mallaig (pop. 701). The South East has the existing infrastructure to deliver a top class rail network.
- The line between Gorey and Wexford has reopened, this evening's trains will operate as a full service with no bus transfers.
- The line between Wexford and Gorey is to remain closed until at least tomorrow afternoon due to flooding at Enniscorthy. More details about bus transfers can be found here: www.irishrail.ie/en-ie/news/s... Bus transfers in operation to Gorey from Wexford/Rosslare and then train transfer as normal

- It's good to hear the Minister speak about bringing forward the timeline, but we need concrete plans. The region has waited long enough for this much needed connectivity. #SpéirGorm
- Delays across rail services this morning because of #StormChandra. As far as we can see, bus transfers in operation between Wexford and Dublin (however there are major delays on N11 and M50). On days like today, having X as the only platform with substantial info on train delays is not good enough.
- Reposted by South East on TrackIt's not acceptable that the only way to get live updates on public transport is by having an account on X which is now under investigation for CSAM. TFI and Irish Rail need to start providing accessible and reliable updates on their own platforms instead of relying on X. #SpeirGorm
- Ourselves, @dublincommuters.bsky.social, @galwaycommuters.bsky.social, & Cork Commuter Coalition wrote to Iarnród Éireann & the NTA today, asking them to cease posting real-time service updates exclusively on X. This vital info should be widely available. Read below: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

- Overcrowded carriages. Standing-room-only. Commuters say the 29000 commuter trains on the Dublin–Rosslare line are simply too small for demand. InterCity trains are used for short hops around Dublin, while Rosslare services are left with older, unsuitable stock.
- Wexford town is the biggest town on the Rosslare line. Access by rail to Wexford Town comes up constantly. The first train from Dublin & Gorey arrives in the afternoon. In Day 2 of publishing commuter voices - commuters describe services that simply don’t line up with working lives.

- Over the next few days we’ll be publishing real messages from commuters on the Dublin–Rosslare line, released via FOI. These aren’t press releases or talking points. They’re what people are actually telling Iarnród Éireann about their commute. The South East deserves better.

- Considering recent events, we're incredulous as to why the only place you can access real time updates on delays/issues/cancellations for Irish Rail is on X. We'll be writing to them next week calling for them to move this service off X & on to their website where it's more accessible for all users.

- Recently, @marcocathasaigh.bsky.social spoke to Raidió na Gaeltachta about the need for better rail services in Waterford and Wexford and for connectivity, via rail, between both. Éist anseo: www.rte.ie/radio/rnag/c...
- The arrival of the new bicycle carriages across the Irish Rail fleet has definitely improved opportunities for multi-modal travel recently, but this is just 😍 A great way to encourage an active solution to that last kilometre of travel getting to and from the train!
- Happy Christmas to all our followers! We hope you have some nice time off... before we get set for a big year in 2026! 🎁 🎄 🚆

- Good coverage on the apparent cancellation of future work on Wexford-Waterford line by @thejournal.ie this morning. We urgently need some clarity from the Department of Transport and the Minister. www.thejournal.ie/rail-review-...

- SOUTH EAST ON TRACK CALLS ON GOVERNMENT NOT TO FORGET SOUTH-WEXFORD-WATERFORD RAIL LINE We condemn the apparent gov. decision to cancel the Wexford-Waterford rail line reopening & are calling for prioritisation of sustainable transport in our region to address congestion & improve housing options.

- Really disappointing. Really shows a lack of political ambition in the South East and for rail infrastructure generally. As @feljin.ie points out, they’ve decided to put regional development on the back foot despite the feasibility of reopening the Waterford-Wexford line (which still exists).
- Coverage here in the Waterford News & Star on the implications of the NDP for the South East: www.waterford-news.ie/news/concern...

- South East Being Left Behind in National Development Plan We’re disappointed that the re-opening of the Wexford-Waterford rail line has not been included in today’s published NDP.
- We really need some sensible thinking from our representatives and Irish Rail to improve services south of Greystones.
- Leap Card should be extended to railway journeys outside major cities! It’s less for a journey between Greystones and Howth (35km w/1 hr duration)than btw Wexford and Enniscorthy (20 kms, w/22min duration) Why not encourage modal shift outside of the cities? #Wexford #Enniscorthy #Gorey #Arklow
- Dept of Transport won't fund capacity study for Rosslare-Dublin rail despite population growth. Double tracking, dynamic loops & extra platform could help without costly Bray Head tunnel. Thanks to TDs @rodericogorman.bsky.social, Whitmore & Lawlor for support. NTA response attached. Plans due 2026:
- Choo choo 🚆🚆

- From today, the late evening departure from Wexford (9:35pm) and Enniscorthy (9:59pm) heading north no longer requires a change of trains at Gorey for those who wish to travel to Wicklow and Dublin. It's a minor change that will make your journey that little bit easier.
- 🚨 Additional trains confirmed for the Fleadh 🚨 (Wouldn’t it be great to get these for the other 51 weeks of the year?!) There are still some cheaper €9.99 fares available across these services! Come to #Wexford, enjoy the #Fleadh and leave the car at home #Fleadh2025 #PublicTransport #Rail

- PRESS RELEASE: July 25 2025 Re: Additional Rail Services for Fleadh Cheoil na h-Éireann We are calling on Iarnród Éireann to confirm additional services. We are concerned that there has been no timetable released. #wexford #fleadh #feadh25
