Major update on Mayo v Louth train services ahead of this weekend
These extra services will be available to book online from tomorrow morning, Wednesday 8th July.
Mayo TD and Minister of State Alan Dillon has welcomed confirmation that an additional train service has been sanctioned for Mayo GAA supporters travelling to Dublin for this Saturday’s All-Ireland Semi-Final against Louth.
Irish Rail has been working to secure extra capacity since the fixture details were confirmed, and has now added further services to support the large numbers expected to travel from Mayo.
Alongside the previously announced special trains - including the 09:15 Westport–Heuston and the 21:10 return service with a Ballina connection - Irish Rail has confirmed two additional match-day services:
- 11:50 Westport → Heuston (with Ballina connection at 11:35)
- 21:30 Heuston → Westport
These services will be available to book online from tomorrow morning, Wednesday 8th July.
Minister Dillon said the extra capacity will make a real difference for supporters: “This ensures Mayo fans have reliable, convenient options to get to and from Croke Park. I want to acknowledge Irish Rail’s engagement in securing these additional services for the county.”
Irish Rail has also adjusted the 21:09 Athlone–Westport service to 22:10 to facilitate onward travel from Dublin.
