Irish Rail advertising campaign

Seems like IE have begun a marketing campaign along the Maynooth line. Got this envelope in the door with a timetable inside. Pretty simple, pretty clever. I get the feeling they're trying to crush even more people into their trains so they've a better case for funding!

Mid afternoon trains along the Maynooth line used to be deserted but these days they are always busy. Now for a proper weekend and late night service!

23:15? I thought the last Maynooth train was 22:30.

No doubt the service has improved immensly.

I think both it and the Drogheda commuter service could do with better off peak services. There are still too many hour plus gaps.

You'd think they'd advertise the fact they are bringing the DART to Maynooth. That would have huge pulling power and I dont mean DC.

Last train from Maynooth is at 2315.
There is a massive version of that poster beside a large shopping centre in Maynooth so it is good to see the service being advertised. A clock-face off-paek service i'm sure will arrive with the opening of Sheriff St. station. A late night service ( leaving town around 11-11:15 PM ) would be perfect.

OK, extra extra. But are they extra? Arent they the ones that they brought out in December or they extra now or soon?
