[25-3-2008] Connolly service alterations

That 18.15 ex Pearse is a very busy service. I get the 17.50 so I'm expecting it to be ridiculously busy.

17:50 wont be much worse than normal since no one is going to know.

I don't hold out much hope that IE will take out a full page in the Metro for tomorrow to list the cancellations

So if you turn up for the 18.15 ex Pearse, the next service stopping at Rush and Lusk, and Donabate will be the 19.15 (19.21 ex Connolly), resulting in > 1 hour of a delay. I wonder will they stop the 18.40 Connolly - Dundalk (semi-fast), at both stations? Otherwise, all passengers for those stations should be due a refund (if I'm not mistaken).
At least it's Easter week, so loads will be lighter.

Yes you should be entitled to a refund

I have been informed this morning that Irish Rail are refusing such requests

Don't worry they won't be saying that for long

I have made my colleagues, who use the line in the evening, aware of this cancellation. None of them knew, despite using the train every day.

I saw an A4 printout sellotaped onto the security screen at the ticket counter in Donabate station today.
