Dún Laoghaire to Maynooth service?

Homesick Alien · 04-06-2025 05:24PM #1

While trying to figure out how to get to DCU this weekend an option of getting the train directly from Dun Laoghaire to Drumcondra came up. I didn't realise you could travel from DL to Maynooth via Drumcondra without changing from Dart to Commuter. I can't find any information about this service, how often it runs etc. Anyone know anything about it?

A quick check of the online timetable planner shows one direct train from DL to Drumcondra at 17.49

Other days might have more options (I picked tomorrow as an example)

Edit - the link above didn't quite work, you'll have to fill in the stations again

If you look at the DART and Dublin-Maynooth timetables (it may try to download if you open from a phone) that M-F there is a 17:30 Bray to Maynooth service and a 07:54 Maynooth to Bray service.

They are supposed to arrive at DL at 17:49 and 09:11 respectively, calling at all stops between Grand Canal Dock and Maynooth, but between Bray and Dún Laoghaire only Calling at: Bray, DL, Blackrock, Sydney Parade, and Lansdowne Road.

edit: forgot to add Drumcondra times, they are 18:26 and 08:37 respectively.

OK wow so one service per day, that's handy! 😅

I thought I was missing something, but I guess not, thanks for confirming.
