    Aaaaaah, OK fair point. I never copped that although a lot of people living away from the east coast/Dublin and its hinterlands area would not have either. Having said that, I should have noticed! :P

    Think it was a typo it says take the train now. Mightve put the wrong word in by accident as nearly everything is Dart.

    I think what Irish Rail were meant to say is get the train (if we are to be very generic about) or more specifically the "Commuter" to Skerries. Either-way, any station North of Malahide, West/East of Connolly or South of Greystones is going to be either a "Commuter" or "Inter-City".

    Nearly everything is DART you got that right, here's this golden nugget for 3 Arena

    The DART is the perfect way to get you there and with Connolly Station only being a 20min walk away. You can also get the Luas directly from Connolly Station to the 3Arena with the services running every 15 miuntes. You won't have to worry about traffic or parking so you can arrive relaxed and ready to soak up the atmosphere.

    If you have a look at the map it shows you directions from Croke Park to Connolly, while Drumcondra about 5 minutes is hidden behind text.

    Im surprised they haven't renamed the website www.dart.ie yet!

    Two years I thought that I had to go to Specsavers as I saw a DART in the siding at Drogheda.

    I asked one of the station staff if it was a DART and he said that hoped that it wasn't because it meant that nobody had told him that the service had been extended.

    Someone else then pointed out that the DART was there to be seen in the maintenance depot at the same location :rolleyes:
