    I am planning on going to Dublin tomorrow from Newbridge by train so i searched times online, going up is fine, regular service, but returning yields no results :confused: I know the train drivers have been threatening to strike so could anyone enlighten me, web site error or strike action?

    Thanks in advance :)

    Sounds like a website error. It works when I tried.

    None of the Newbridge trains are affected by the current work-to-rule.

    There are trains from Heuston to Newbridge at:
    0930
    1015
    1220
    1305
    1415
    1430
    1615
    1735
    1805
    1815
    2040

    It's not a strike, it's a sporadic work to rule (that is, drivers are refusing to work rest days, a practice on which the new schedule depends). Most of the resulting chaos has been on weekend.

    You can be sure that the search facility coming back blank has nothing to do with industrial unrest or cancellations.

    When the trains are cancelled, the online timetables don't mention it at all so you should be more suspicious of when the website details services as you'd expect them!

    The op was asking about Sunday trains!

    The 1735 is a weekday only service.
