Fault Halts DART

Commuters are facing severe disruption as DART services in south Dublin ground to a halt this morning due to a technical fault in Dun Laoghaire.

No trains are operating between Blackrock and Bray, but passengers are being advised that Dublin Bus will honour all valid DART tickets.

It is unclear when normal services will resume.
