Irish Rail Lift Outages

Lift and escalator outages at Irish Rail stations, station by station.

A notice going up is the only signal, and a notice coming down is the only other one. The feed has no “fixed” field: an outage ends here when its notice is no longer listed, which usually means the lift is back.

What this measures

This site reads Irish Rail's public service message feed every 30 minutes and keeps every notice that says a lift or escalator is out of order. Irish Rail publishes no history, so nothing before exists here, and days before it are shown as “no data”.

How to read an outage

Each outage shows when its notice went up, when it came down, and how long it stood. That is what the day bars colour. Irish Rail also write a start date on the notice, usually weeks or months before it appeared; that is shown as their claim and measured as nothing.

“Planned works” is the notice's own wording. Escalator notices come through the same feed and get their own bar.

How the grade works

Availability is the share of the days watched on which nothing was reported out at that station - no lift and no escalator - and the grade is a band of it. Lifts and escalators keep separate bars, so a working lift is never painted by a broken escalator, but a day either kind was out is a day the station was short of a way up.

Planned works are excused for their first week. Works still listed after that count against the station in full, and change colour on the bar to say so.

What the feed leaves out

Irish Rail names the lift or escalator in the notice - “the lift at platform 2”. There's no way to tell whether another accessible route is open.

The feed is read every 30 minutes, so a notice that goes up and comes down between two reads is not here at all.

Every station named so far

The feed names a station only when something is wrong with it, so this is every station that has had a lift or escalator notice since 8 August 2026 - not every station with a lift.
