Irish Rail New Proposed Timetable - August 2024

Jim Herring

In my experience the DART service is still not back to previous standard of service.

I got a morning DART earlier this week, it was due to arrive at Grand Canal Dock at 09:46, it arrived at 10:01, 15 mins late. It was a couple of mins late leaving my station, a journey that is timetabled at 17 mins in their app took 30 mins.

No announcement from the driver, just multiple stops mid station and slow to leave at least one stations. On one occasion it started moving again and stopped again almost immediately.

Is this the norm now? The fact there was no communication from the driver suggests it is…

it's poor.

Getting 13.33 northbound dart out of Connolly

10 minutes late and counting.

That's almost half the total scheduled duration of my commute.

Billions for IPAS though

It's dreadful. But poor standards are the norm for everything where this state is involved. The only thing the state is good at is revenue raising.
