Arrow is no more
 

Irish Rail have finally dropped 'Arrow' off the timetable and replaced it with 'Railcar' at least now its clear what you are getting

Might I suggest they drop 'DART' off the timetable and replace it with 'DOIRT' for 'Dublin Often Infrequent and Risible Transport'. At least it would then match the D4 pronounciation of that service.

Sorry to jump on your thread Mark. Service will resume as normal after this post.

Is this from all references Mark?

Is the Arrow just on the Kildare line now? Are they being painted over (commuter livery?)

All timetable entires online are Railcar and all have been repainted

To the commuter livery? They were only operating on the Kildare line yeah?

Every railcar operated service, even those in Cork where down as arrow

Even those operating on long runs like Mallow-Tralee...

Hmm...

I think it was clear that ARROW was a commuter service. It looked ridiculous on intercity routes, as it should do!

Railcar's far too vague and fluffy.

So you can see why IE changed it :D

Maybe but the 01-8054288 talking timetable still has the ARROW service.

aahhh you used the talking timetable service..... could they understand you? it was a struggle for people that i know used it. They had to repeat it so many times!! :D

Its not great but you have to pronounce your words so clear.

Maybe they should consider renaming the timetable as " The Irish Joke Book"
