    Hi just wondering if anybody gets the above route into town in the mornings? How long on average does it take to be in town at about 8:45.

    Also what's parking like at the station and is the weekly parking ticket still €10?

    Thanks for the reply but I was looking for first hand accounts etc.

    Can those times be confirmed as reliable?

    Give or take a few mins, they're never drastically late unless there's a fault on the line.

    Parking not great, never is anywhere, timewise you're looking at 20-25 minutes. I'd grab a slightly earlier train than perhaps needed if you want to be sure of arriving bang on time.

    Still €2 a day for parking, yes.

    Some mainline (Drogheda) trains also serve Portmarnock, may serve Clongriffin and/or Howth Junction but then go directly to Connolly, worth looking up timetables to see shortest travel time

    Thanks for that.

    Do you mean that Portmarnock is usually full with no spaces left?

    Car park has been doubled in size in the last couple of years, but I don't park there, so can't comment. I've heard others say there's no problem, and there probably wouldn't be, given the latest train you'd want to be getting is the 8.11.
