Morning Longford train service delayed after incident at level crossing

Longford train services are running on a 25-minute delay this morning as a result of an incident at a level crossing.

Services between Longford and Edgeworthstown were suspended for a period earlier after a truck struck the barrier. The 05:40 Sligo-Connolly was held outside Edgeworthstown for a time but the train has now re-commenced its journey.

It's not yet known if anyone has been injured in the incident.
