2007 Timetable booklet as hard to get as Harry Potter 7

Ronald Binge · 07-01-2007, 17:22

One of Irish Rail's great traditions continues.

Looking for the timetable booklet(s) has always been an interesting pursuit - ranging from booking office staff asking "which line do you want" through "Its (insert price) you know" and what not.

At Pearse today a checker overhearing me asking the booking office clerk for a copy of the book loudly interrupted with "Its still the current timetable today".

A very helpful lady at Connolly tried to get a copy for me and advised me to come back later - which I did. No joy.

I'll let you know how I get on here during the week.

The timetables where shipped by Fastrack on Friday morning. They arrived Heuston 8:30 am ish.

Pearse has approx 20 boxes behind the ticket counter, they are it I think. But the clerk wouldn't sell one

Watch this space, almost certain we will have one before IE sell one over a counter

The 2007 timetables are online on the irish rail website in pdf format. Click on the printed timetables option and click the link for 2007 timetables at the bottom of the page.

Full DART table is not available as a PDF anymore

I'm informed that a copy of the 2007 tt has been located in the wild, more as we have it

Well done folks at Heuston.

A sign at the information desk directs intending purchasers of the book to the ticket office, where copies are available at last year's price of €2 each.

Job done.

What odds I won't be able to purchase a copy elsewhere today ??

18:30 yesterday was the time we 'found' a copy through alternative channels. We seem to get most things through 'alternate' channels such as the new DART map http://www.platform11.org/images/july2006_draft_map.jpg a full 4 months before it appeared in public
