    Hi guys

    Will be getting the DART from Bray and heading to Maynooth on Friday morning, but with a bit of a tight timeline between both trains. Is there any way I can check in advance which platform the Maynooth bound train at 9:46 leaves at? I have tried the IrishRail site and journey planner etc. as well as the pdf timetables to no avail! Also how much time should I leave between trains - is 5-6 mins enough or is there a bit of a distance between platforms like at Heuston?

    Thanks

    So will you reinvest back into the market now with the sale profits or diverse?

    Bray Dart will let you off at platforms 5, 6, or 7. 6 and 7 are just the two sides of the one platform, so only feet apart. Access to 6 and 7 from 5 requires using an underpass, but very quick.

    As far as I've ever seen, Maynooth trains generally come in at platform 7. Platforms 1 to 4 terminate in Connolly from the north, so if your Maynooth train departs from, say, Pearse, it'll come into Connolly at 5, 6 or 7. And I'd guess 7.

    Journey Planner shows the platform. It looks like it's Platform 3 all week.

    I'd get off the Dart at Pearse street. Same platform and the Maynooth train starts from there so it should be very easy to get a seat.

    Bad advice... the 9.46 the OP asked about starts at Connolly

    Thanks guys - very helpful much appreciated! :)

    Yes Peppa normally I would change at Pearse but unfortunately it's not an option for the train in question.

    That particular train departs Connolly from platform 3

    Click the "show details" link for platform etc.

    Dart comes to platform 1 at 9:29, commuter train leaves platform 3 at 9:46. Should be plenty of time once the dart is reasonably on time. .

    Super - thanks Bruthal - don't know how I missed the "show detail" link :o

    Much appreciated for going to so much effort! :)
