The "commuter" services aren't mentioned on the IE site, unless I'm missing something?

Edit: just checked IE's journey planner, which doesn't really tally with those times above on the Maynooth service. Only special listed on Fri night is 23.30. The "regular" departs Drumcondra at 23.21 not 23.17.

Yeah it's strange alright.

They're on the transport for Ireland page that I linked under rail.

Some of those specials are not accurate either. IE expected to confirm commuter schedules very soon.

But they're from nta/transport for Ireland?

I would trust IE's site before TII, examples include

09.05 Tralee-Dublin - Friday (operating through)
14.40 Galway-Dublin - Friday (not even a special!)
13.30 Galway-Heuston - Sunday - Not Operating according to IE
14.38 Athlone-Heuston - Sunday - Operating
23.55 Dublin-Belfast - Sunday - Not Listed

It's all pretty odd

Park and Ride locations are advertised...e.g. Hazelhatch and Celbridge

Yet none of the additional services seem, to stop there??

It's very poor marketing on IE's behalf if they don't mention *all* the specials on their website, especially this close to the event.

No buses? Yeah, right, I believe that one.

Look at the TfI website and you'll see details of buses - most are private charters for locations outside of Dublin.

The normal bus services will still be operating in the city when the concert finishes.

That's my fault, I missed out on the last line, I fixed that now
