    I've done the N7 for several years on Christmas eve and whey-hey! it's all good.
    Was coming from the southside for a few years and now from the city centre and it was quiet, would have been leaving around the 4pm mark.
    Usually most people are gone by that stage so I would think you should be ok.

    I will heading this way again this year but will be earlier in the day but not expecting much delay.

    Actually by 6pm it wouldn't be too bad I don't think. Most people would have long gone by that stage. Not the same, but I got the last train out of Heuston (to Galway) a couple of years ago and it was very empty.

    I'd say not too bad either. Already Dublin is feeling a lot quieter than last week, with a lot of students etc already gone. With most others finishing up work either a day early or early in the day on Christmas eve, by 6pm I'd say it'll be quieter than you'd expect. Actually by 6pm everyone'll be in the pub!

    I imagine a good chunk of people will be finishing up on Wednesday evening, but I wouldn't be too complacent about it. If you're going to try leave Dublin on Thursday, I suggest you leave before 10am or after 8pm.
