For outside the short hop zone I read it as you will need the city centre add on in addition to a ticket to Heuston to travel to Drumcondra, Connolly, Tara St, Pearse and GCD.

Confirmed.

Apologies for being the cynic . But I can see questions being raised in good time for why Kildare services can't use the midland line.

Thats the 37 million euro question

Lets be clear the track layout in place around Connolly works

Trains to/from Docklands can run in parallel with Phoenix Park Tunnel, so trains from Phoenix Park Tunnel are using capacity that could not be otherwise used

So launch looks to of gone rater well with minimal delays and some ticket issues. Suspect the 08.10 and 08.35 inbound services may need to be adjusted slightly as been held up at Park West because of late running IC services, time will tell.

apparently inbound maynooth trains got held up near glasnevin junction and drumcondra this morning

Mark Gleeson · 21-11-2016, 19:41

Quite a few Maynooth trains heavily delayed before reaching Glasnevin this morning, so can't be blamed

Some delays this evening with 15 and 25 min delays.

One service, 1758 ex GCD arrived 10 mins late in Hazlehatch at 1856 according to realtime but the connecting service to Portlaoise left on time at 1851. Therefore connecting passengers had a long 35 wait for the 1905 from Heuston. The next train, 1816 GCD-Newbridge was 25mins late. Probably a knock on effect of the DART delays.

Presumable IE don't want to disrupt Heuston services if a GCD is late. If the 1825 had been held for 10mins, it might have delayed the 1900 to Cork.

Looks like it could be complicated for those relying on connections.
