Major disruption on rail services south of Dublin is set to continue into next week, with no trains between Dalkey and Greystones on Saturday and Sunday.
Irish Rail has said it is continuing to work to fix damage to signalling equipment caused by last week’s fire.
The fire, which occurred in a signalling relay room, has caused significant disruption to Dart services south of Dalkey, and Dublin-Rosslare train services, since Saturday.
There are no services operating between Greystones and Bray, with bus transfers in place.
