Major works have been getting underway at both Ceannt Station in the city and Oranmore train station.
A new underpass will pave the way for a new second platform for Oranmore, while works are progressing on a platform 5 at Ceannt Station
It's expected the new platform will be completed over the October Bank Holiday weekend, and open directly afterwards.
As a result, bus services will be in place over that weekend.
Today is the first day of the new temporary 6:50AM train service between Athenry and the city, which will run until next August.
Our Galway Ceannt Station and Oranmore projects reaching major milestones this month!
Works affecting Galway to Athenry this weekend and October Bank Holiday, but station and service improvements to be delivered.
