Docklands cancellations

..anyone know the story ?

The 07:56 Ashtown to Docklands has been cancelled the
last two mornings due to 'operational difficulties'

As expected the 08:03 Ashtown to Pearse is mega squashies.

The gatekeeper is escorted by the security brief each time the gate is

If we have to use the docklands train, to get a service to Blackrock,
it is quicker to walk to Connolly or to Pearse ?

New Phoenix Park station

Hi

Have I got reason to be concerned ?

My train is normally the 8:23 Ashtown to Bray express.

Since Docklands opened, the cramming has certainly reduced.

In August, the new Phoenix Park Station...
