Public Transport service updates & advice for Dublin on the weekend of 27th, 28th, and 29th June (and Monday 30th).

Get ready for an especially busy weekend from June 27th, with lots of events happening!

As the date of your concert, sports fixture, shopping trip or event approaches, it’s essential to plan your trip in advance. Operators across the Transport for Ireland (TFI) network, including Dublin Bus, Iarnród Éireann Irish Rail, Luas, Go-Ahead Ireland, and Bus Éireann, are working to get you to your destination safely.

  • Check Bus Services: Some scheduled bus services may be moved due to road closures. Double-check before traveling to know where your pickup point will be located after the event.
  • Pre-Booked Services: If you have pre-booked a service, make note of the final departure time. Ensure you allow enough time after the event to reach the pick-up point before final departure.
  • Be Patient: Many TFI train, tram, and bus services will be busier than usual. Please be patient and respectful to all staff who are doing their best. Follow instructions from staff across the TFI network, especially at busy stations and platforms
  • Use the TFI Journey Planner / TFI Live App to plan your route.
