Heavy Snow Shuts Irish Rail, LUAS and Bus Services.<\/p>\n

Today, 2 March 2018, public transport was suspended across the Republic of Ireland. Irish Rail stopped operating trains yesterday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Earlier today I made a cursory inspection of Dublin\u2019s Heuston Station.<\/p>\n

Drifts covered the line at Islandbridge Junction; trains were idle at the Heuston yards; the LUAS tram tracks were completely covered, and buses were idle at the Conyngham Road bus garage.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve heard that there\u2019s greater amounts of snow inland. In many places roads are impassible. Air travel has been grounded.<\/p>\n

Reports from Northern Ireland indicate that NI Railways continues to provide service, possibly with some delays.<\/p>\n

My photos were exposed digitally using Lumix LX7 and FujiFilm XT1 cameras.<\/p>\n
