    Saturday 3rd of May 2008:
    All Dublin Connolly Commuter Services and Belfast Enterprise Services will be substituted by buses between Dublin Connolly and Drogheda and between Drogheda to Dublin Connolly.

    Does that include Darts? I want to get from Greystones to Malahide and back tomorrow...


  • Registered Users Posts: 78,290 ✭✭✭✭Victor


    It only applies between Malahide and Skerries - they are re-newing the points that were damaged in the derailment at Skerries earlier in the year.

    "Commuter" refers to non-DART, non-InterCity services.
