@TFIupdates No prob, thanks for the update!

@ellen_murrr Hi Ellen, Apologies, there has been a change in plan and your train will be assisted back to Cork and you will be accommodated onboard the 11:25 Cork/Heuston service - MH

The 09:25 Cork/Heuston service has failed between Cork/Mallow. Services between Cork and Mallow are suspended as a result. Staff are working on the issue - MH @TFIUpdates #IrishRail

@TFIupdates Perfect, thanks!

@ellen_murrr It will be a train service - MH

@TFIupdates Yes, I’m on the 09:25 Cork/Heuston. Okay, is this accommodation rail or bus transport?

@ellen_murrr Just to confirm. You're currently on the 09:25 Cork/Heuston, which has stopped just outside Mallow. If so, this service is expected to travel to Mallow, where it will terminate, and passengers will be accomodated - MH

@TFIupdates Thanks! :) Is this train returning to Cork or being moved to Mallow? The overhead announcement is contradicting the Twitter updates.

@ellen_murrr No, alternative arrangements are being considered at present - MH

Emerging research shows bile acids do far more than just aid digestion. They can shape the gut microbiome, influence inflammation and may offer new therapeutic strategies. To find out more check out our latest blog post 👇 isapp-sfa.com/new-blog/2025/…
