Train Collision Disrupts Westport Line | Belfast News
Description
A serious train collision in County Mayo has caused major travel chaos this morning, with emergency crews responding after a westbound train hit a car at a level crossing near Ballyhaunis. Passengers heading to or from Westport face significant delays as Iarnród Éireann deploys bus replacements. Ticket holders can request refunds, and the company expresses support for those affected. This isn’t the first incident — just yesterday, a train struck a tractor between Portarlington and Tullamore, requiring buses and hospital treatment for minor injuries. Recovery efforts are underway as safety and service restoration remain top priorities.
