I searched the www.freeflow.ie site for extra trains but

Those are Saturdays. How will the trains get down to go up and why are they not covering "up for the day, day" on the 8th?

Back from Dublin 16:50, 17:55 and 19:05 Galway has more trains than Cork at peak times, and its Saturday so there are few commuters, train is already in Galway since the 5:30 ex Galway runs Monday to Friday only

The 8th is a Friday so there is nothing more to send out

Though not published there is unoffically a 12:30 Cork Dublin and 16:00 Dublin Cork that said it depends on a train being available and it is a Mk4 train, would seem to be a Monday to Thursday and Saturday thing to 'test' a Mk4 set with passengers

No late night DART again, then again its a even year you only get late night DART in odd years based on recent history, didn't run 2004, ran 2005, wont run 2006
