I had a look for the timetable on the Irish Rail site but couldn't find it. Is it anywhere online? It seems to be loaded in the journey planner but the Longford commuter trains aren't appearing.

Drumcondra seems like an odd extra stop. Broombridge would seem like a more obvious choice for an extra stop with the Luas there now.

Only the Sligo intercitys are online ATM

It's strange alright , I would have thought that Broombridge would be a better option . The cynic in me says it's linked to PPT.

Greystones to connolly intercity service now takes an hour but is faster south of greystones to make up for the time.
2 morning trains now also call at grand canal dock.

I haven't had time to do a comprehensive trawl but some of the IE online PDF timetables have Dec 8th as the expiry date (e.g. Waterford and Westport/Ballina routes). I thought Sept 8th was the change date. What is going on? Can IE get anything right?

Edit: the PDF gives validity from 10/12/2017, but the web pate has valid until Dec 8th (year unspecified). What sort of time-warp do IE people live in?

Thing with the 07.10 is since they added Newbridge (they gave 1 minute extra) punctuality has been poor ever since. It used to always arrive on time now its regularly a few minutes late. This stop catering for what may 1 or 2 people is ridiculous.

They then add an extra minute to all Sunday services ex Waterford, yes is reality is nothing really but why? All the services for the most part complete the journey ahead of current schedules.

On time performance has slipped every single period this year over 2017 but they are not addressing the problem services at all i.e Fridays

The commuter services terminating at Connolly at weekends is forward planning given Pearse will be closed many weekends to allow the roof to be replaced
