the 6.35am from Dundalk is the train I am going to use now, stops at 7.26am in Rush/Lusk
why is it only 4 carriages used all the time on this peak time train it really is getting to be a right pain in the backside why cant you yokels in irish rail pull your fingers out for once and do something positive

the problem is the dart timetable which it is quiet blatingly obvious that in order to tidy up the reduction of darts they introduced a clockface timetable but as a result of this the commuter trains on the northern line as well as the rosslare line services have been impacted because they have to sit behind the darts.

I dont know if saw the news
article this week about fine gael giving out about the shortage of darts if there were more darts it could have been worse

If you are looking for answers i would suggest when you send irish rail a letter cc (and tell them you have cc'd) department of transport transport commitee and your local tds. Its the only way you will get answers. Good luck !

Firstly its 6:30!!

The 6:30 Drogheda Pearse was cancelled according to the records I have, it never arrived Connolly. By the time we have a way of knowing if its cancelled its at least 30 minutes after scheduled departure.
