Dun Laoghaire Ferry Announcement

Eddie · 31-08-2011, 22:40

Now that Stena have (sadly) confirmed they are to cease Dun Laoghaire operations for 7 months from mid-September, how about Irish Rail stop advising us to "Change here for ferry services"? It's been annoying enough when you know there's only one ferry a day, yet it's said on every one of the 120+ darts that pass through the station daily. But now there's not going to be a service at all, it's ridiculous.

Maybe giving the Rosslare train each way a break for that period.Pearse to Bray and Bray to Pearse.

A revised set of announcements for the entire network is under preparation

Dún Laoghaire is the largest town between Dublin and Rosslare by some margin and deserves a stop, the numbers boarding with suitcases is significant which suggests long distance travel. The stop costs nothing in journey time. It is also a significant bus interchange point.
