[24-5-2006] Match Lansdowne Road

[Mark Gleeson]

As is typical no news on the Irish Rail site or the DART site concerning the match tonight

What I do know is as follows

Extra northbound trains at 21:40 and 21:50 from Lansdowne
The evening Gorey Connolly makes an additional stop at 21:58

Sountbound I think there is an extra train at 21:35

Note the Dundalk and Maynooth trains which leave Pearse 22:20-22:30 should be increased to 8 coaches

Mark,
Do you know what time the last DART which stops at Landsdowne leaves Connolly at? I got caught the last time and ended up having to walk to the ground from poxy GCD.

Online system reports last train as 19:01 ex Connolly arrives Lansdowne 19:09, Runs May 24th only and terminates Lansdowne Rd

I thought poxy GCD usually closed for the couple of hours during matches?

I think it closes before them but Landsdowne itself closes during them. Weird eh!

Grand Canal Dock is perfect for the North Terrace entrance which is where League of Ireland supporters are put. Why do they close it before matches? I don't understand what crowd control problems they would get that they don't get at Lansdowne itself...
