Still nothing on IE site

The online journey planner and maps won't show the station but if you key in 'Phoenix Park' as a station it will result in the correct result

We will have the fare information etc in due course but at this time it looks like same as Ashtown

clockface timetable - every two hours - now its the galway line's turn to be jealous - fair play to IE - if they pull this off it'll be good
