Rosslare-Dublin: schedule change & extra service Sun 18th April by Corporate Communications

Iarnród Éireann advises customers of the following schedule alterations today (Sunday 18th April) on the Rosslare Europort-Dublin rail line.

These changes are to facilitate high numbers travelling on ferry services, as a result of the restrictions on air travel.

17.40hrs Rosslare Europort to Dublin will be deferred to depart at 18.40hrs, and operate one hour later throughout.

An additional service will also from Rosslare Europort to Dublin following the above altered service, and will depart as all ferry passengers are accommodated.

Iarnród Éireann thanks customers for their cooperation with these arrangements.
No details on any extra trains to Rosslare

I bet they're sorry they moved the station now :rolleyes:

An empty ICR set left Dublin at 16:15 for Rosslare, out of service and empty, surely someone would like to go to Rosslare?

Was it a 6 car set?

This air travel chaos is great for the Rosslare line:D

Mark Gleeson 18-04-2010 15:43
3 coach only permitted south of Greystones. Rosslare could take a 6 coach no problem as could Wexford

That's a load of baloney

Mark Gleeson 18-04-2010 16:01
Well if you opened the door of the sixth coach at Rathdrum, its a long drop, a very long drop

Some rumours of a 5 coach ICR set

Can it operate 6-car operating to stations with long platforms only? I presume Rosslare Europort-Wexford-Greystones-Bray-Dun Laoghaire-Pearse-Tara Street-Connolly.

Mark Gleeson 18-04-2010 16:42
Thats fine, but the circular says 3 piece only south of Greystones (or Bray)

What would have been perfect for the rosslare and other lines would have been if the 22ks and 29ks came in batches of two

Four coach would have been the equivilent of over 5 commuter railcars correct me if i am wrong

Is that the 22K x 6 were never officially cleared? In any case, the failure to factory fit SDO strikes again. They could have routed it via Waterford, oops can't, no LC workers and dare not make that line look useful.

Colm Moore 20-04-2010 01:13
Looks like this might be a regular occurrence for the next while.
