5pm Sunday Service
I've been in Croke Park for the last few Sundays and couldn't help but notice that what looked like the Sligo train from Connolly had been using the South line out of Dublin. This can only mean that it used Platform 7 and went down the steep single track section out of Connolly over the Canal that I thought had been disconnected. Am I right or are my eyes deceiving me? I thought that line was no longer accessible from Connolly. I appreciate the line is of little use, being single line out of Connolly, missing Drumcondra station and only having access to Platform 7 (so being of little use to trains South of Connolly) but was wondering why IR were doing this? It doesn't seem to make any sense to force people to have to move over to platform 7 all so the train can take the slightly quicker route out of Dublin.
