Dart did not stop in Clontarf Rd this morning

Can anyone confirm that the Dart due at Clontarf Road at 7:41 this morning did not stop there.

My girlfriend got to the platform for about 7:35 ish. She normally gets a Dart "between 7:40 and 7:45" (timetabled for 7:41), however one approched with people on board and did not stop. She eventually got her Dart at 8:00am.

She was at the far end of the Platform away from MIS, and didn't really take note to see if it was due to stop or not.

So two scenarios here.

1) She was later than she thought and missed her Dart and the one she saw was an express. Does one exist at this time?

2) The scheduled Dart did not make a scheduled stop.

She said a few people looked in surprise that it did not stop but no great commotion or anything.

She was absolutely certain it was a Dart, and not a commuter rail. She uses this train every morning to go to Sandymount!! Other Commuter Rail trains did pass as normal without stopping

Anyone else on this train this morning.

Apologies for the lack of timing clarity!!

Like you said 07:41 scheduled and before that 07:30 from Malahide, It would be alot easier if you knew the exact colour!! or maybe it was a Dart and possibly out of service.......

Is she sure it was a DART and not a commuter train? To the untrained eye, they look very similar.
