Transport for Ireland "realtime" Android app

    Using the "transport for ireland" app on an Android phone
    (this one here: https://www.transportforireland.ie/real-time/download-real-time-app/)

    When looking up next trains for one of the Dart stations (Harmonstown and Raheny), the "realtime" app showed quite a lot of trains due in the next hour.

    Confused, I checked the irishrail website if the strike has been called off.
    Well it wasn't. :confused:

    So that "realtime" app seems to be not as such realtime, and in fact totally useless.

    Is there any of them apps for Dublin region that works with Bus, Dart, LUAS, that actually works? (even knowing that Dublin Bus RT info has its problems anyways).

    Any suggestions much appreciated.

    Dunno about luas, for bus and train I use two separate android apps. Search for "Next Bus Dublin" and "Next Train Dublin" - they work reasonably well. i.e. around 90-95% of the time they are correct.

    When there's no data the apps fall back to the timetable which is actually not a very good idea most of the time. Strikes are one obvious problem!
