Commuters are experiencing major disruption to rail services operating north of Tara St station in Dublin this evening.

All northside Dart, and Northern and Maynooth line commuter services, as well as Belfast and Sligo Intercity services have been cancelled until further notice.

Iarnród Éireann say the disruption has been caused by overhead line damage north of Connolly Station, where a Dart is also blocking lines.

According to Iarnród Éireann, Docklands to Clonsilla services are operating normally, and a limited Maynooth commuter service will also operate from Docklands Station.

Dublin Bus and Bus Eireann will honour rail tickets on affected routes.
