Can they get anything right?

So there is a match in Lansdowne on Wednesday and there are extra trains to carry the fans

So we have this on the IE site
11:30 Cork to Connolly (14:28)
14:10 Limerick to Connolly (16:32)

And 22:40 from Connolly return

But neither are extra trains since the 11:30 and 14:10 are normal service trains and terminate in Heuston at the quoted times

I have always wondered why Grand Canal Dock is closed in the event of a match at Lansdowne.

Anyone any ideas?

It would be too convenient to patrons going to the north terrace and it would take some of the pressure of lansdowne road station. Did someone say CIE were a public service company?

Note these trains terminate in Connolly.

If you're a football fan, IE can deliver you. If you're a regular user, you can go and get stuffed.

Further proof that paths through the Park Tunnel are alive and well.

Please note that for last years FAI cup final, a "special" from the Cork line arrived in Connolly at 5 o clock on a Friday evening.

They are some bunch of spin doctors. George W. Bush and the Israeli Government should hire them.

None of these trains actually reach Connolly they all terminate in Heuston thats the point the website says they go to Connolly but they don't

Hmmm.... we'll see. Big Typo? or will these trains actually run to Connolly?

The banana skin, looks like the 22.40 return from Connolly.
